aliasing when GCC (I think) incorrectly treats types different, but
they're the same. For example, I have:
struct Point {
float x, y, z;
};
struct Vector {
float x, y, z;
Point &asPoint() {
return reinterpret_cast<Point&>(*this);
}
};
Point and Vector have the same layout, but GCC treats them different when
it does aliasing analysis. I have problems when I use Vector::asPoint.
I also think this case should not be flagged. I have seen similar usage
in network programming. Did it actually result in bad code or was it
just the warning that bothered you?
:) Thanks for your responses.
You're welcome.
