Something like
union u {
int a[50];
char b[50 * sizeof int];
};
and accessing one array with incrementing indices and the other with
decrementing indices should work, if I understand your problem statement
correctly. But this is now about programming not a gcc bug, so please use
gcc-help or some general C programming forum instead.
