# Readability of the matched C — the Gen3 series

**How to read it.** A *lying declaration* is a call site whose in-scope declaration names fewer parameters
than the callee's own definition. It is not a style problem: on this processor an argument travels in a
register, so a dropped argument removes an instruction, and Phase 36 found register pins inserted to fake
exactly that instruction. *Raw cast derefs* is the struct debt — a struct cannot be recovered from the
binary, only inferred from consistent base+offset+width evidence, so this figure falls as that work lands.
