I think that a lot of intermediate C++ programmers may not be aware of the issue and there is a lot of outdated information online.
My name is Andy Webber and I work at SIG which is a financial trading company near Philadelphia, PA. I started learning C++ in high school and I’ve been hooked ever since. I especially enjoy attempting to understand the full stack from the hardware up through high-level software. Understanding strict aliasing has been my crusade of late.
