Yes I do, but that's not my main objection.  My point was why you
consider the access to the float object as being by an lvalue expression
of union type (u) rather than by the more obvious lvalue expression of
float type (u.f).  Whether u.f=23; does or does not access u does not
answer that question.

Eh?  The compiler can assume that fp and ip don't alias, but it most
certainly matters where they come from.  If they both point to a single
area of allocated storage no rules have been broken.

You keep changing the examples which makes discussion hard.  For
example, in the older case where there is a write and read the
destination of the pointers did not matter because the effective type
done through a write "sticks" when the target is allocated.
