           Summary: Patch for strict alias warning in Support/Allocator.cpp
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Support Libraries
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: me22.ca at gmail.com


I only saw 3 warnings compiling llvm, 2 of which looked like flex's
fault, so it made me want to fix the other one:
Allocator.cpp: In member function 'void*
llvm::BumpPtrAllocator::Allocate(unsigned int, unsigned int)':
Allocator.cpp:96: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
break strict-aliasing rules

I'm not convinced it actually broke aliasing rules, but it's a fairly
trivial fix that simplifies the code, so it seems worth it.  Only
possible drawback is that it (opaquely) exposes MemRegion, but that
identifier is used nowhere else in llvm at the moment.
