Warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules, when moving to c++17
Hey I feel super stupid, because I am not able to understand this error:
When I compile with gcc -std=c++17 the following warning messages are displayed:
src/xerus/ttNetwork.cpp: In static member function ‘static xerus::TTNetwork<isOperator> xerus::TTNetwork<isOperator>::dirac(std::vector<long unsigned int>, const std::vector<long unsigned int>&)’:
