Strict aliasing and allocation functions

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Carsten,

How about this...

gcc -std=c99 -O3 -Wall -o x x.c

--------8<--------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int alloc(size_t n, void* p)
{
     void* a;

     a = malloc(n);
     *(void**)p = a;
     return a == NULL;
}


int main(void)
{
     int *a, res;

     res = alloc(10, &a);
     free(a);

     return 0;
}

HTH,
