testcase

Clang emits incorrect TBAA information when accessing a union member with any
kind of casting. In the example attached, r.w[i] gets the right TBAA type info
of omnipotent char. Any other access like ((int*)r.w)[i] or *(r.w + i) gets
TBAA int type. This leads to incorrect optimization as shown in the attachment.
