Subject: hash: Prevent warnings about strict aliasing rules.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91f227cad7cd6a1a36c8cac75e56d1308821fe34;p=openvswitch

hash: Prevent warnings about strict aliasing rules.

Some versions of GCC complain about violations of strict aliasing
rules due to a cast between different pointer types.  This avoids
any aliasing by copying the value first.
