Will Effective C cover the strict aliasing rule and also why the BSD sockets API seems to get away with it (e.g. (sockaddr *) &sockaddr_in)?

I don't think the book covers strict aliasing, at least not in detail.

I thought we had fixed the BSD socket aliasing a long time ago?

Isn't that legal if they are all in a union?
