     Compiler warning (level 1) C4023
 
     'function' : _based pointer passed to unprototyped function :
     parameter 'number'
 
     When in a near data model, only the offset portion of a _based
     pointer is passed to an unprototyped function. If the function
     expects a far pointer, the resulting code will be wrong. In any
     data model, if the function is defined to take a _based pointer
     with a different base, the resulting code may be unpredictable.
 
     If a prototype is used before the call, the call will be generated
     correctly.
