As far as I'm aware, there is no silver bullet to detect all strict
aliasing violations. A good summary of the different options are
described here:
https://gist.github.com/shafik/848ae25ee209f698763cffee272a58f8#catching-strict-aliasing-violations
However, this is not 100% and might still miss some strict aliasing violations.
The bottom line is that anywhere there's a cast to something other
than void* or char*, it could be a strict aliasing violation. So,
doing an exhaustive search throughout the code base for casts seems
like the only (tedious, time-consuming) solution.
