$ cat test.cc
#include <new>
struct APInt {
    int i;
};
int main() {
    APInt I;
    char Data[sizeof(APInt)];
    new((void*)Data)APInt();
    *(APInt*)Data = I;
}
$ g++ -O3 -Wstrict-aliasing test.cc -o /dev/null
test.cc: In function 'int main()':

The warning goes away if I change "*(APInt*)Data = I;" to "*(APInt*)(void*)Data
= I;" even though an extra cast through void* can't improve the situation wrt
strict-aliasing.
