------- Comment #6 from andrew at warnux dot com 2008-11-28 16:38 ------- I do have a couple concerns:
1. This one is MAJOR. Without using -Wstrict-aliasing, I never see warnings about this change. I can't even begin to explain how bad that is. The gcc programmers made a big change (that is default compile) and there isn't even a warning by default! I wonder how many other things like this have been done. 2. Will other compilers compile this kind of code correctly? inline bool IsNegative(float f) { union { float f; int i; } u; u.f = f; return u.i & 0x80000000; } http://xania.org/200712/cpp-strict-aliasing -- andrew at warnux dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|DUPLICATE | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38297
