But using a union for type-punning is a gcc extension (and of course the
extension
is only for access through the union), so with strict C99/C++ semantics we can
avoid reloading d[i-1] even if a and d were in the same union because the code
would then be invalid. So the union case is a non-issue here (it was only used
to
make available enough properly aligned storage for the particular testcase).
