Description:
A lot of compilation warnings like these:

handler/ha_innodb.cc:9752: warning: type-punning to incomplete type might break strict-aliasing rules
handler/ha_innodb.cc:9753: warning: type-punning to incomplete type might break strict-aliasing rules
handler/ha_innodb.cc:9754: warning: type-punning to incomplete type might break strict-aliasing rules
handler/ha_innodb.cc:9755: warning: type-punning to incomplete type might break strict-aliasing rules
handler/ha_innodb.cc:9756: warning: type-punning to incomplete type might break strict-aliasing rules

appear when compiling MySQL with -O3 and gcc 4.2.1 (also happens with 4.1.2, does not happen with gcc 3.4.6)

The reason for this is obvious: the "struct st_mysql_sys_var" is unknown to the compiler when compiling ha_innodb.cc:

include/mysql/plugin.h:

struct st_mysql_sys_var;            
...
#define MYSQL_SYSVAR(name) \
  ((struct st_mysql_sys_var *)&(MYSQL_SYSVAR_NAME(name)))

storage/innobase/handler/ha_innodb.cc:

#include <mysql/plugin.h>
...
MYSQL_SYSVAR(fast_shutdown),

This is related to Bug#22100 but I am opening a new one because the latter is so generic.

How to repeat:
Compile MySQL 5.1.31 with gcc 4.2.1 or 4.1.2 and -O3 or -O2 in the flags.

Suggested fix:
Not sure how to fix this or to silence the warnings.

[10 Feb 2009 15:42] Vasil Dimov

To trigger this -O2 or -O3 and -Wall must be used and a gcc 4.x. I confirm that adding -fno-strict-aliasing to the compilation flags silences the warnings.

Assigning to Kolbe because he says "It seems that the gcc 4.1 warnings have been repaired. If you believe otherwise, please show some examples. Thanks!" in Bug#22100, feel free to reassign.

Verified with gcc 4.2.4 on Ubuntu with -O3 only (no warnings like this with -O2 for me).

Using gcc -O2 instead of -O3 does not make them go away:

The -Wall flag enables -Wstrict-aliasing, see gcc manual. The warning can be safely ignored for now, we are working towards revamping the the struct that leads to this warning.

      Bug#42733: type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL with -O2/-O3 -Wall and gcc 4.x
      
      Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
      developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
      strict aliasing rules and optimizations were rare to non-existent.
      Thus, when compiling the server with a modern compiler that uses
      strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations, there are several
      places that might break (undefined behavior) depending on how the
      compiler optimizes. 
       
      As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
      misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
      about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
      always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
      might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
      by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
      
      The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
      reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
      by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
      be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
      historical cruft.

      Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL --
                 strict aliasing violations.
      
      One somewhat major source of strict-aliasing violations and
      related warnings is the SQL_LIST structure. For example,
      consider its member function `link_in_list` which takes
      a pointer to pointer of type T (any type) as a pointer to
      pointer to unsigned char. Dereferencing this pointer, which
      is done to reset the next field, violates strict-aliasing
      rules and might cause problems for surrounding code that
      uses the next field of the object being added to the list.
      
      The solution is to use templates to parametrize the SQL_LIST
      structure in order to deference the pointers with compatible
      types. As a side bonus, it becomes possible to remove quite
      a few casts related to acessing data members of SQL_LIST.
     @ sql/handler.h
        Use the appropriate template type argument.
     @ sql/item.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary cast.
     @ sql/item_subselect.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/item_sum.cc
        Use the appropriate template type argument.
        Remove now-unnecessary cast.
     @ sql/mysql_priv.h
        Move SQL_LIST structure to sql_list.h
        Use the appropriate template type argument.
     @ sql/sp.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/sql_delete.cc
        Use the appropriate template type argument.
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/sql_derived.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/sql_lex.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/sql_lex.h
        SQL_LIST now takes a template type argument which must
        match the type of the elements of the list. Use forward
        declaration when the type is not available, it is used
        in pointers anyway.
     @ sql/sql_list.h
        Rename SQL_LIST to SQL_I_List. The template parameter is
        the type of object that is stored in the list.
     @ sql/sql_olap.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.
     @ sql/sql_parse.cc
        Remove now-unnecessary casts.

      Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL --
                 strict aliasing violations.
      
      Essentially, the problem is that large parts of the server were
      developed in simpler times (last decades, pre C99 standard) when
      strict aliasing and compilers supporting such optimizations were
      rare to non-existent. Thus, when compiling the server with a modern
      compiler that uses strict aliasing rules to perform optimizations,
      there are several places in the code that might trigger undefined
      behavior.
      
      As evinced by some recent bugs, GCC does a somewhat good of job
      misoptimizing such code, but on the other hand also gives warnings
      about suspicious code. One problem is that the warnings aren't
      always accurate, yet we can't afford to just shut them off as we
      might miss real cases. False-positive cases are aggravated mostly
      by casts that are likely to trigger undefined behavior.
      
      The solution is to start a cleanup process focused on fixing and
      reducing the amount of strict-aliasing related warnings produced
      by GCC and others compilers. A good deal of noise reduction can
      be achieved by just removing useless casts that are product of
      historical cruft and are likely to trigger undefined behavior if
      deferenced.

      Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL --
                 strict aliasing violations.
      
      Another rather noisy violation of strict aliasing rules
      is the spatial code which makes use of stack-based memory
      (of type Geometry_buffer) to provide placement for Geometry
      objects. Although a placement new is allowed to dynamically
      change the type of a object, the object returned by the
      new placement was being ignored and the original stack-based
      object was being casted to the new type, thus violating strict
      aliasing rules.
      
      The solution is to reorganize the code so that the object
      returned by the new placement is used instead of casting the
      original object. Also, to ensure that the stack-based object
      is properly aligned with respect to the objects it provides
      placement for, a set of compiler-dependent macros and types
      are introduced so that the alignment of objects can be inquired
      and specified.
     @ include/Makefile.am
        Add new header.
     @ include/my_compiler.h
        Add header to house compiler-dependent features.
        
        Use compiler/version to detect available features at build time
        instead of configure time in order to avoid common pitfalls in
        autoconf-based checks (such as attributes being ignored by certain
        compilers).
        
        Add macros to inquire and set alignment.
        
        Add my_aligned_storage which is similar to the C++0x aligned_storage
        type, which provides a POD-type suitable for use as uninitialized
        storage for any object.
        
        Use partial template specialization due to historical weakness
        of using attributes with template arguments.
     @ include/my_global.h
        Remove now-unnecessary macros.
     @ sql/spatial.cc
        Make object creation functions return the object whose type
        was dynamically changed by the new placement.
        
        Move static method from the header in order to avoid having
        to access a forward declaration.
     @ sql/spatial.h
        Object creation callbacks now take a array of chars as the
        storage area.
        
        Move create_by_typeid to a source file as to not access the
        forward declaration of Geometry_buffer.
        
        Ensure that Geometry_buffer is properly aligned.
     @ sql/sql_show.cc
        Use newly added aligned storage helper.

        storage area.
        
        Move create_by_typeid to a source file as to not access the
        forward declaration of Geometry_buffer.
        
        Ensure that Geometry_buffer is properly aligned.
     @ sql/sql_show.cc
        Use newly added aligned storage helper.

      Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL --
                 strict aliasing violations.
      
      Post-merge fix: include my_compiler.h before my_attribute.h
      as the latter will undef __attribute__ if the compiler is not
      GCC. Based on the compiler version, in my_compiler.h we know
      for sure whether the aligned attribute is supported. Furthermore,
      undefining attribute might cause bugs if some system header
      uses it.
     @ include/my_compiler.h
        Drop aligned attribute support from Sun Studio C++ compiler
        as its not clear exactly which version of it supports the
        attribute.

      Silence bogus aliasing warning through a pointer indirection. Also,
      no need to check the return of a placement new.

      Bug#42733: Type-punning warnings when compiling MySQL -- strict aliasing violations.
      
      Due to the extent of aliasing violations in the MySQL source
      code, at this time it is safer to disable strict aliasing related
      optimizations in release builds.
      
      As of this patch, only GCC enables strict aliasing by default.
      Hence, use the -fno-strict-aliasing option to disable the
      aliasing rules.
     @ cmake/build_configurations/mysql_release.cmake
        Add -fno-strict-aliasing to release builds.
