Subject: add codegen support for casting an element to a union.
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75dfedaf702822c9e51a4f3c5d3ecf2d2ad99272;p=clang

add codegen support for casting an element to a union.
There are some more complex cases (_Complex and structs)
that I'm still working on.
