Your program is broken.  This copies one (1) byte into *v.  This is 
easier to see if you put a line "x = 0;" before the call to the function 
g.  Then you will see that the result of the function g is 0x3f and not 
the expected 0x6666663f.

This program also has unsafe pointer casts.  ISO C says that accessing 
an object with a different type (other than char) is undefined.  So 
"*(float *)&x" has undefined result, and may fail to work as expected.

We prefer bugs put into bugzilla rather than emailed.  See
