Interesting.
The standard specification for std::bit_cast doesn't actually say what happens if the operand is volatile.
Consider the following example:
```
volatile double z1;
volatile long long z2;
void f() {
__builtin_bit_cast(long long, z1);
__builtin_bit_cast(long long, z2);
}
```
MSVC optimizes the casts away. gcc preserves the casts. It also preserves the types of the loads: it generates movsd when the operand is a double, and an integer mov when the operand is a "long long".
