Hi Thiago,
I understand unions.
Please read this thread. There's a post by Paul Floyd which contains a
link explaining why the GCC developers believe that this GCC specific
feature, and also why it is non-portable. If you disagree with the GCC
deveopers, you could discuss it with them.
Also, please read the Trolltech code in src/corelib/thread/qmutex.h :
inline QMutex *mutex() const
{
return reinterpret_cast<QMutex *>(val & ~quintptr(1u));
}
Thank you.
