MSVC compilers compile your code and produce correct result, but the
code 
looks less nice:
0000000000000000 <get_exponent>:
   0:   f2 0f 11 44 24 08       movsd  %xmm0,0x8(%rsp)
   6:   48 8b 44 24 08          mov    0x8(%rsp),%rax
   b:   48 c1 e8 34             shr    $0x34,%rax
   f:   25 ff 07 00 00          and    $0x7ff,%eax
  14:   c3                      ret

Although on old AMD processors it is likely faster than nicer code
generated by gcc and clang. On newer processor gcc code is likely a bit
better, but the difference is unlikely to be detected by simple
measurements.

Also MSVC compiler does not like your style and produces following
warning:
dave_b.c(5): warning C4116: unnamed type definition in parentheses

BTW, I don't like your style either. My preferred code will look
very similar to the code of Waldek Hebisch except that I'd declare
d_to_u() static.
I don't like union trick. Not just in this particular context, but
generally. memcpy() much cleaner in expressing programmer's intentions.
