--- Comment #16 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Message [c++std-core-20893] on the C++ core reflector on 2011-12-14 supports
the GCC view that a C++ compiler can apply strict aliasing rules to p1->m and
p2->m unless the fact they come from the same object is visible to the
compiler.

Yes.  I believe I filled a core issue regarding this -- coming from
controversy originating from optimizations performed by compilers
today (especially without full program analysis) -- and the resolution
is that if intend to play type punning games with X and Y you better let
the type checker and optimizer see your cards upfront.  Otherwise, you
are on your own.  I can't remember the issue number right now.  In the
end, I think that was the right decision.

But I can't find the core issue referred to.
