Misc #11795: [PATCH] get rid of breaking strict alias for XL compiler

Related to bug 11790. Thank you for adding the changeset.

It may be better to add a IBM XL specific instruction for this:
in line 70 of regparse.h

#ifdef __ibmxl__
 #define SET_NTYPE(node, ntype)  {int value = ntype; memcpy(&((node)->u.base.type), &value, sizeof((node)->u.base.type));}
 #else
 #define SET_NTYPE(node, ntype)   (node)->u.base.type = (ntype)
 #endif

Not sure whether it affects other compilers and it might be safer to only do this with the XL compiler.

Please cancel this, I see I already submitted the changes in bug 11790. Sorry about that.

gcc/clang optimize away that memcpy, at least.
