+
+ <braunr> we should perhaps build the hurd with -fno-strict-aliasing,
+ considering the number of warnings i can see during the build :/
+ <pinotree> braunr: wouldn't be better to "just" fix the mig-generated stubs
+ instead?
+ <braunr> pinotree: if we can rely on gcc for the warnings, yes
+ <braunr> but i suspect there might be other silent issues in very old code
+
+
+# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-07-12
+
+ <braunr> btw, i'm building glibc right now, and i can see a few strict
+ aliasing warnings
+ <braunr> fixing them will allow us to avoid wasting time on very obscure
+ issues (if gcc catches them all)
+ <tschwinge> The strict aliasing things should be fixed, yes. Some might be
+ from MIG.

+
+# IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-10-17
+
+ <braunr> we should build gnumach and the hurd with -fno-strict-aliasing
+ <pinotree> aren't the mig-generated stubs the only issues related to that?
+ <braunr> no
+ <teythoon> b/c we often have pointers of different type pointing to the
+ same address? for example code using libports?
+ <braunr> the old linux code, including pfinet, and even the hurd libraries,
+ use techniques that assume aliasing
+ <braunr> exactly
+ <teythoon> right, I agree
