I don't think there are any serious technical issues, but I'm still unhappy
with the documentation. The content is generally ok, but I think it needs
restructuring/rephrasing to make it clear that it's the user's responsibility
to ensure aliasing rules are obeyed. Aliasing violations are bugs in the user
code, not bugs in the optimizer.
Also, the malloc example you give will only work on 32-bit targets.
