Summary: GCC warns about strict aliasing in cm_sha2.c
Description:
When compiling cm_sha2.c, GCC gives the following warning:
/builddir/build/BUILD/cmake-2.8.11.2/Source/cm_sha2.c: In function
'cmSHA1_Final':
/builddir/build/BUILD/cmake-2.8.11.2/Source/cm_sha2.c:743:2: warning:
dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules
[-Wstrict-aliasing]
*(sha_word64*)&context->s1.buffer[56] = context->s1.bitcount;
^
There are four cases total.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Compile with recent GCC (4.8?)
2) Inspect compile log
Additional Information:
I propose fixing this by copying the necessary bytes through union. This should
lead to the same binary, but will make it clear to GCC that we are only using
the buffer as a bunch of characters. The test suite passes after applying the
patch, that I attach.
