January 15, 2007 pointer aliasing in D | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

Hello,
Are there some pointer-aliasing contraints in D? Is there maybe some similar like strict-aliasing in C?
Consider the following program:
struct S {
int i;
};
struct T {
int i;
};
void bar(S *a, T *b, S *c)
{
b.i = a.i;
c.i = a.i;
}
Since a and b are pointers of different types, a C compiler is allowed to cache a.i in a register (the store to b.i must no change a.i).
