With this patch I cannot compile anymore with gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20080704
(prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25). I get the following warning:
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
Maybe that's why the initial code was using void* instead of void**.
I'm running out of idea on how to nicely handle this. Replacing (void**) by
(void**)(void*) does work but is really ugly.
Any thought?
