Some time ago, I posted a link here to my (then new) white paper on 
strict-aliasing.  I wrote it because people keep posting, on this and on 
other lists, questions that show a basic misunderstanding of aliasing 
and what the rules in C and C++ standards on aliasing are intended to 
communicate.  I got some great feedback and have posted a new revision, 
http://dbp-consulting.com/StrictAliasing.pdf.  I'm hoping that people on 
this list will review the paper and tell me some more ways of improving 
it.  My intention is to write a paper that will make it so that I won't 
have to keep answering the same questions over and over again;)  I'll 
just point people at the paper.

Best regards,

Patrick
