I'm still trying to figure out whether we can do something not breaking the ABI. Honestly, I think we should first figure out whether this specific cast really causes problems or not. If it does, then we should raise the priority of the issue to the highest level and probably it warrants an ABI breakage (for 4.2). If it doesn't and/or we are not ready to break the ABI, probably tweaking the compiler to spill warnings to the face of the user is not an appropriate action. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24975
