Let's say we have an object, we store it in a union (into some other narrower type, but with memcpy(3), so it's allowed --I guess--), and then read it from the union via it's original type (so no a...
Let's analyze this code, assuming an architecture where the alignment of int64_t is the same as that of double: void bar(double *f, int64_t *j) { *(int64_t *)f = *j; } void foo(void) ...
Is uint8_t guaranteed to be a character type if it exists? Will using a uint8_t* to examine bytes of an object cause violation of the strict aliasing rule? Is the following legal code: #include &l...
