I dunno, from my perspective I think the bug was received reasonably
well.  People told you that your code relied on undefined behaviour.
I can see that that is not the best answer from your perspective, but
to me it does not seem like an unreasonable answer.

If you would like a specific warning, then present a specific case of
code which is undefined, and suggest what warning it should issue.
Also indicate which warning options you tried; for example, did you
try -Wstrict-aliasing?
