That seems directly on point, and makes C99 | match the existing GCC practice: we don't need to worry that pointers | might point to unions. | | Gaby, would you please forward that to the C++ reflector, so that the | reflector has that information as well?

Since I brought upt this issue, Nick MacLaren sent me a note he had circulated about these very issues on C99. It is also being discussed on the -core reflector. -- Gaby -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29286
