            Bug ID: 42360
           Summary: MachOReader breaks strict-aliasing rules
           Product: tools
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: llvm-objcopy/strip
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

According to Denis Bakhvalov [1], gcc warns a string-aliasing violation in
MachOReader:

llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOReader.cpp:124:46: required from here
llvm/tools/llvm-objcopy/MachO/MachOReader.cpp:104:19: warning: dereferencing
type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]

I managed to reproduce the problem but in my environment (gcc 7.4.0 and 5.5.0
on Linux) gcc doesn't print such a warning.

Could someone else try this?
