Tracking here the issue exposed by @linuxmaniac via PR #924, as it was merged and then reverted (by #1248), so anyone can be aware of as well as comment/propose solutions for it.
Add "-fno-strict-aliasing" to compilation flags
Fixes a slew of: "dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules" warnings from GCC for lines of the form: Py_INCREF(Py_True); and Py_INCREF(Py_False);
due to the cast from PyIntObject* to PyObject*
GCC is technically correct here; see: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3123/ though this is unlikely to lead to non-working machine code.
The initial proposed patch for `src/modules/app_python/Makefile` is:
```
@@ -22,6 +22,8 @@ ifeq ($(OS), freebsd) LIBS+=-pthread endif
+# python2 https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3123/ +DEFS+=-fno-strict-aliasing DEFS+=-I${PYTHON_INCDIR} DEFS+=-DKAMAILIO_MOD_INTERFACE ```
Closed #1249.
app_python3 was added meanwhile for python3 support, which seemed to be the reason of this aged issue.
