They might or might not be defined in this case of extern struct first F -
see Nick Maclaren's "What is an object?" document (WG14 reflector sequence
9350 or ask him for a copy).  If the pointers are to within allocated
memory, which in the original example they may be, I see nothing that
would stop there from being aliasing.
