You are wrong to assume that the cast to char* changes the aliasing violation.
In fact it is an access via char which is able to be done to any other type.
So this:
(((unsigned short *)(char *)&(ans)))[1]
is an access of an float variable as an unsigned short and there is an aliasing
violation there.
