[libav-commits] mem: fix pointer pointer aliasing violations

Module: libav
Branch: master
Commit: 60392480181f24ebf3ab48d8ac3614705de90152

mem: fix pointer pointer aliasing violations

This uses explicit memory copying to read and write pointer to pointers
of arbitrary object types. This works provided that the architecture
uses the same representation for all pointer types (the previous code
made that assumption already anyway).
