            Bug ID: 103502
           Summary: -Wstrict-aliasing=3D3 doesn't warn on what is documented
                    as UB
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.2.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: stsp at users dot sourceforge.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Similarly, access by taking the address, casting the resulting pointer and
dereferencing the result has undefined behavior, even if the cast uses a un=
ion
type, e.g.:

int f() {
  double d =3D 3.0;
  return ((union a_union *) &d)->i;
}
---

Here is the test-case:
---
union a_union {
  int i;
  double d;
};

static int f() {
  double d =3D 3.0;
  return ((union a_union *) &d)->i;
}

int main()
{
    return f();
}
---

It only warns at -Wstrict-aliasing=3D2 or 1,
but doesn't on 3. 3 is documented as the
most precise option. So obviously it should
warn on what the official gcc manual declares
as an UB.

Note: I very much wish such construct to
not be UB. Because of the lack of a warning
on -Wstrict-aliasing=3D3 I was freely using
such construct for type-punning for years...
until now I've found it invalid in gcc manual.
If it is actually valid, please fix the docs,
not gcc! :)=
