Heh, yep. I recall the exact patch in LLVM causing build breakages
for kernels and various parts of Android userspace within the past
year, for code that tried to write to variables declared const through
casts that removed the const. (Was the last patch for us to build MIPS
IIRC). Doing so is explicitly UB. I did feel that that particular
"optimization" was very specific to C/C++, and should not have been
performed in LLVM (which should be more agnostic to the front end
language's wacky rules, IMO) but rather Clang (which doesn't do much
C/C++ language specific optimizations currently, though there are
rough plans forming to change that).
