--- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The strict-aliasing warnings are broken - they are too easily to silence (the
(char *) cast for example).  Generally warning for TBAA violations is very hard
if you want to avoid gazillions of false positives or gazillions of false
negatives.  The present warning code delivers neither :/
