dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

[Marcel Behlau]

Hi,

i wan't to create aliase (name and type) for the elements of an 
char-array. Unfortunately my gcc produce the warning "dereferencing 
type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules", if i use -O2 or 
bigger. Since i set -Werror, the warning will become an error.

I attached an example to this mail. To compile and generate the problem, 
i use "gcc -O2 -Werror -Wall main.cpp".

I found an workaround (without using pragma, or somethink else), with 
it's included in the code, too. To activate, pass an extra "-DWorking" 
to the gcc-Command. The workaround is working, but using an pointer is 
ugly.

Best regrads,

Marcel
