------- Comment #4 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-11-28 02:20 ------- Yep you are violating C++ aliasing rules as you are accessing a char * as an unsigned char*. It would be ok if you accessed a char as an unsigned char but you are accessing the pointers instead.
It is not the size which matters but rather the types which are being accessed here. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21920 *** -- pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |DUPLICATE http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38297
