That should be simple to do in a targeted place in Clang rather than awkwardly doing it retroactively like in the current patch.


The TBAA information seems to be assembled from several smaller pieces during code generation.  There is already a check for unions in EmitLValueForField, which turns off path TBAA information for union fields, but that is not sufficient to avoid problems.  Both testcases will still fail with this code in place (the C++ testcase needs to be updated: it's missing "-O2 -std=c++11").
