1518,Warning from gcc in boost/intrusive/detail/utilities.hpp,Lars Hagström <lars@…>,Ion Gaztañaga,"When compiling with -Wall and -O2 or -O3 I get the following warning:

{{{
intrusive/detail/utilities.hpp: In function 'float boost::intrusive::detail::fast_log2(float)':
intrusive/detail/utilities.hpp:501: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
}}}

This is with boost intrusive and interprocess from revision 41303.

Changing the first line of fast_log2 to

{{{
boost::uint32_t * const exp_ptr = 
  static_cast <boost::uint32_t * const>
   (static_cast<void * const >(&val));
}}}

Makes this warning go away. Although I'm not so sure about the beauty and efficiency of casting that way...
