2489+ Strict Aliasing
2490+ ---------------
2491+
2492+ Clang by default applies C/C++'s strict aliasing rules during optimizations. In
2493+ cases C and C++ rules diverge, the more conservative rules are used. Clang does
2494+ not make use of strict aliasing rules in all cases yet, including unions and
2495+ variable-sized arrays. That may change in the future.
2496+
2497+ As of Clang 20, strict aliasing rules are also applied to nested pointers. The
2498+ new behavior can be disabled using ``-fno-pointer-tbaa ``. Note that Clang does
2499+ not apply strict aliasing rules to `void* ` pointers to avoid breaking existing
2500+ code, even though this is not required by the standard.
2501+
2502+ Strict aliasing violations in the source may change program behavior and
2503+ ``-fno-strict-aliasing `` disables use of the strict aliasing rules. There also
2504+ is an experimental :doc: `TypeSanitizer ` to detect strict aliasing voliations.
