This is a bug in your code.
Could you explain me why please?
If you really need to break the type
system by accessing an object by something other than its real type,
use a union:
union
{
A A_kludge;
unsigned int uint_kludge[2];
void *nonsense;
} kludge;
Unfortunally it doesn't work in my case because A has a contructor
and gcc doesn't want to put a class with a constructor in an union
(error: member 'A topointer(A)::<anonymous union>::A_kludge' with
constructor not allowed in union).
Furthermore, even if it worked I will have to do this:
kludge.uint_kludge[1] = 0;
and I don't think it will work on a 64bits big endian processor.
Do you see a problem in this line?:
(void *) (unsigned long)(*(((unsigned int *)&a)));
