See also all the memcpys that are done with types that are
polymorphic, and the ones
where we memcpy types that have user-provided copy operations. qtbase
is UB left right
and center, but it's certainly interesting that when a new thing in it
might be clarified
not to be UB after all, we perform all kinds of somersaults to avoid
such dark corners.
