Stefan Krah <ste...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
The memcpy() is NOT a hack and performs exactly the same operation as casting the pointer and then dereferencing, only in a manner that avoids unaligned accesses. On platforms like x86 the memcpy() is optimized to a simple assignment. Casting the pointer and then dereferencing would also be subject to the UB warnings. You are the one who wanted to *introduce* a hack by dereferencing as char and then cast to _Bool. :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39689> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
