When compiled with clang, the following statement gets converted into a movaps instructions. mem->u[0] = 5; mem->u[1] = 6; mem->u[2] = 7; mem->u[3] = 8; Since mem is an unaligned pointer to a union of an sse, we get a GP when running. All we want is to make the values between mem and v different for this testcase, so let's just memset the pointer at mem, and convert to uint32_t pointer. Then the compiler will not assume the pointer is aligned to 128 bits.
