------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 15:21:06 +0100 From: Nicholas Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: -fno-strict-aliasing Configure.pl is pulling perl5's C compiler flags in without question. perl5 is defining -fno-strict-aliasing on gcc. 1: As parrot is trying to be as "clean" as possible in its source, and rules about aliasing (and what a compiler may assume) is part of ANSI C, why do we need this flag? 2: Is it possible to get gcc (or any other compiler) to issue warnings where it detects that strict aliasing would (or might) change the program result?
