This code is technically UB in C++, right? [1] Has anyone run into a case where it actually didn’t work? Just curious. I’ve often assumed that if C++ compilers didn’t compile this code, all hell would break loose.
It might be nice to start sharing modern/safe versions of this snippet & the Quake thing. Is using memcpy the only option that is safe in both C and C++? That always felt really awkward to me.
