5.2.1.2 #pragma alias (pointer, pointer [, pointer]…)

This pragma specifies that at the point of any dereference of any of the named pointer variables, the pointer value being dereferenced can point to the same object as any of the other named pointer variables. However, the pointer is not limited to only the objects contained in the named variables and can point to objects that are not included in the list. This pragma overrides the aliasing assumptions of any applied alias levels. In the following example, any indirect accesses of p and q after the pragma are considered to alias regardless of their type.


#pragma alias(p, q)
