    You’re talking about 2 things: 1. Strict aliasing to guarantee nobody does anything stupid with the pointers, and 2. Bounds checking at compile time with runtime checks for anything that cant be guaranteed at compile time.

    There are analysis passes that do this, coverity did some, as does gcov though less well.
