That is what is in the patch at the bottom. It uses an extra layer of macros that I am not in favor of. There is an additional email with a proposed approach that makes the use of the array members more obvious. I will rework both patches #2 and #4 to use the byte-wise accesses and the shifting, without additional helper macros. It's valid C and it seems to enjoy the widest acceptance. (I agree it's the easiest to reason about.)

Sorry! I don't think your proposal fixes the effective type issue, and actually may make it worse if I'm correct. > > It seems like the safest thing to do is read byte by byte and shift which I thought we did a long time ago? > > The last point I poorly tried to make to Laszlo was I thought you could cast around the effective type issue in C99. If you think about it the union and the cast are both telling the compiler the intent is to break the effective type rule and that is the bigger point I was trying to make. Given my insomnia I used alignment examples that I understand better. If we try to convert Size to a UINT32 * I think that does trigger the effect type issue Laszlo referenced. So I was only debating the boundary of enforcement of the effect type rule using alignment as a confusing example. > > I was actually writing a mail to some people that sit on the C/C++ standards committee that are UB experts to get some clarification when you sent this mail. I'm concerned I'm conflating behavior with what the standard states, and may have some recency bias with solving alignment issues that makes me think the cast should work. > > I'm basically asking if this code pedantic conforms to C99 and C11: > > EFI_COMMON_SECTION_HEADER gSec = { { 0x01, 0x02, 0x3 }, 0x10 }; > > return *(UINT32 *)gSec.Size & 0x00ffffff; > > I ran the clang static analyzer and runtime ubsan on the above code and it did not complain (I force strict aliasing via -fstrict-aliasing, and I'm using the Sys V ABI since this is just the command line compiler on my Mac). > > Thanks, > > Andrew Fish > > > On Apr 17, 2019, at 10:52 AM, Michael D Kinney > wrote: > > Laszlo, > > I have been following this thread.
