Oops, union fields indeed alias between each other (that's a gcc extension of the C standard), but the remaining cast is still doubtful: const union tv *u = (const union tv *) tvp; gcc won't consider that u and tvp may alias. Now, it happens that this works, since glibc is currently not compiled with optimization across modules, hence tvp is always correctly filled by the caller.
