------- Comment #5 from bkoz at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-07-11 20:56 ------- Isn't this the kind of thing that -Wstrict-aliasing or -Wstrict-aliasing=n should warn about?
I will start to experiment with this, in the thought that we should not actually have stuff in the library with aliasing problems. Not expecting to fix this on the 4.2.x branch though, but if we find issues that can be fixed on trunk/4.3.x, may consider doing so. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36742
