Strict-aliasing rules (gcc 4.4)

[Julien ÉLIE]

Hi,

With gcc 4.4, there are lots of errors like:

rc.c:151: error: dereferencing pointer 's_local' does break strict-aliasing rules
rc.c:573: error: dereferencing pointer 'remote.59' does break strict-aliasing rules
...


-->  if( s_local->sa_family == AF_INET6 )
     {
       struct sockaddr_in6 *s_l6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)s_local;
       struct sockaddr_in6 *s_d6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)s_distant;


--> memcpy(&remotetable[i].Address, &remote, SA_LEN((struct sockaddr *)&remote));


What could we do for that?
Why such calls are not fine?
