[Bug c/17665] wrong code with -O2


------- Additional Comments From davids at webmaster dot com  2004-09-25 18:24 -------
Look in 'alias.c' and search for the string 'a void pointer'. The aliasing code 
is supposed to assume that a 'void *' can alias anything. The variable 'head' 
is a 'void *'.

I'll check the standard again, but my recollection is that it's supposed to be 
safe to cast any pointer to and from a 'void *'. That's why 'malloc' 
returns 'void *'.
