This "you can't write malloc in standard c" bullshit has gone on for too long.
union u {int i; float f;} u;
u.i = 1;
printf("%f\n", u.f); //strict aliasing violation, super bad
u.f = 1.;
printf("%f\n", u.f); //fine
int *i = &u.i;
float *f = &u.f;
*i = 1;
printf("%f\n", *f); // le bad
*f = 1.;
printf("%f\n", *f); // fine
char s[4];
union u *p = s; // can cast char* to anything, fine
i = &p->i;
f = &p->f;
*i = 1;
printf("%f\n", *f); // >:( you can't do that
*f = 1.;
printf("%f\n", *f); // cool
char t[4];
i = t; // can cast char* to anything, fine
f = t; // ...
*i = 1;
printf("%f\n", *f); // bad cnile *hits with newspaper*
*f = 1.;
printf("%f\n", *f); // you know the drill
