--- Comment #7 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
>1. Does it affect the caller due to LTO being used?


LTO just exposes the issue as now the compiler has aliasing info from the
functions of all Translational units.  GCC 12 (or was it 13) added IPA based
aliasing to functions (modref) which allows more optimizations to happen and
expose your bad code.


Also the aliasing and undefined behavior is documented in many places and there
are many papers about it which you should read up on. This is not the correct
place of asking questions about it though since this is not related to GCC bug
as it is about the C/C++ language rather than GCC implementation. If you have
questions about GCC implementation on why it gets exposed in some cases; even
bugzilla is not the right place either.
