I'm getting a type-punning warning from gcc when it processes the file
libmoduletestplugin_a.c and gets to the function gplugin_a_module_func

Exact warning is:

libmoduletestplugin_a.c: In function `gplugin_a_module_func':
libmoduletestplugin_a.c:64: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
break strict-aliasing rules


This is cleared up if I change the function to the following:

G_MODULE_EXPORT void
gplugin_a_module_func (GModule *module)
{
  gpointer (*f) (void) = NULL;


  if (!g_module_symbol (module, "gplugin_say_boo_func", (gpointer *)f))
    {
      g_print ("error: %s\n", g_module_error ());
      exit (1);
    }


  f ();
}

It *was*:

G_MODULE_EXPORT void
gplugin_a_module_func (GModule *module)
{
  void (*f) (void) = NULL;


  if (!g_module_symbol (module, "gplugin_say_boo_func", (gpointer *) &f))
    {
      g_print ("error: %s\n", g_module_error ());
      exit (1);
    }


  f ();
}

If I may ask: was there a reason to use void (*f) instead of gpointer (*f)? Am I
missing something here?
