------- Additional Comments From ncm-nospam at cantrip dot org 2005-01-31 05:29 ------- Hmm, precisely two additional casts (or local unions), each in a statement where a cast already appears, hardly seems like a "load".
But I'm always patient, right? It's just that anyplace a standard construct could be used instead of an extension, I'll vote for the standard one. Question for the compiler jocks... why can unions enforce correct alignment, but the __attribute__ form cannot? Can the extension not be recast to generate what amounts to an unnamed union, and thereby re-use the same machinery? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8670
