This enables use of code like

|
uint8_t *buf8 = ...;

|
*(uint32_t *)buf8 = ...;

in broken code. There should be no need to use this

option with recent GCC or Clang versions on any

arch as just as fast code can be generated in a safe
|

|
way too (using __builtin_assume_aligned + memcpy).

|

However, this option might improve performance in some
|

|
other cases, especially with old compilers (for example,
|

|
GCC 3 and early 4.x on x86, GCC < 6 on ARMv6 and ARMv7).
