/*
* Problem with clang 3.3 on FreeBSD:
*
* $ clang -v
* FreeBSD clang version 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final 183502) 20130610
* Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.0
* Thread model: posix
*
* The problem manifests itself as follows (x86_64):
*
* $ clang -Os -m32 -std=c99 -fstrict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer clang_aliasing.c
* $ ./a.out
* 11 22 33 44 00 00 f1 ff
* 11 22 33 44 00 00 f9 ff <==
* 11 22 33 44 00 00 f9 ff <==
* 11 22 33 44 00 00 f1 ff
*
* The value is corrupted even in the base care where 'a' is initialized
* as bytes and then copied with a structural assignment; the double part
* of the union is not accessed at all. The corruption is always that the
* 7th byte gets OR'd with 0x08. This bit is the highest bit of the IEEE
* double mantissa, so this is probably floating point related. The code
* generated uses a floating point load/store to copy the value except in
* the cases where the copy works.
*
* The asm code generated for the failing assignment and the COPY_FAILS
* case is the same: a floating point load/store is used to copy the union
* contents. This shows that COPY_FAILS is indeed converted automatically
* from a byte/memory copy to a floating point load/store):
*
* 8048653: dd 44 24 20 fldl 0x20(%esp)
* 8048657: dd 5c 24 10 fstpl 0x10(%esp)
* 804865b: 8d 44 24 10 lea 0x10(%esp),%eax
* 804865f: 89 04 24 mov %eax,(%esp)
* 8048662: e8 61 ff ff ff call 80485c8 <dump>
*
* Apparently an FLD + FSTP sequence causes a signaling NaN (with mantissa
* highest bit cleared) to be converted into a quiet NaN (with mantissa
* highest bit set) so the generated code is incorrect. See for instance:
*
* http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5038
*
* The COPY_WORKS case looks like:
*
* 8048667: c7 44 24 04 00 00 00 movl $0x0,0x4(%esp)
* 804866e: 00
* 804866f: 8b 44 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%eax
* 8048673: 83 f8 07 cmp $0x7,%eax
* 8048676: 7f 1d jg 8048695 <main+0x96>
* 8048678: 8b 44 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%eax
* 804867c: 8a 44 04 20 mov 0x20(%esp,%eax,1),%al
* 8048680: 8b 4c 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%ecx
* 8048684: 88 44 0c 08 mov %al,0x8(%esp,%ecx,1)
* 8048688: ff 44 24 04 incl 0x4(%esp)
* 804868c: 8b 44 24 04 mov 0x4(%esp),%eax
* 8048690: 83 f8 08 cmp $0x8,%eax
* 8048693: 7c e3 jl 8048678 <main+0x79>
* 8048695: 8d 44 24 08 lea 0x8(%esp),%eax
* 8048699: 89 04 24 mov %eax,(%esp)
* 804869c: e8 27 ff ff ff call 80485c8 <dump>
