Re: FYI: GCC warnings about strict-aliasing violation in glibc


Here's a fix to get rid of a number of these warnings.  Ok to commit?

Andreas

2002-11-10  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@suse.de>

	* nss/getXXent.c (GETFUNC_NAME): Use union type to avoid strict
	aliasing problem.
	* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c (INTERNAL): Likewise.
	* nss/getnssent_r.c (__nss_getent_r): Likewise.
	(__nss_setent): Likewise.
	(__nss_getent_r): Likewise.
