[Bug c/45320] New: Strict-aliasing misdetection

[strikosn at gmail dot com]

The following code fails to detect breaking of strict-aliasing rules correctly:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{        
        int i;
        float A[20];

        for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
        {                                                                       
                A[i] = i;
                unsigned int *p = (unsigned int *)&A[i];
                printf("%d\t%.24f\t0x%08x\n", i, A[i], *p);
        }

        return 0;
}

gcc only gives a warning when compiling with '-Wall -O1'. Yet, compiling with
'-Wall -fstrict-aliasing' seems to produce correct results, even though '-Wall
-O2' breaks the code.
