Mark Dickinson added the comment: dtoa.c *does* (arguably) respect C99+TC3 strict aliasing. The union trick has long been used as a safe and supported way to do this kind of thing, though it appears there's still disagreement about exactly what the standard intends.
I'd strongly prefer not to modify dtoa.c here unless we really have to. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30124> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
