De-serialising bug in C compiler?

[jakhog]

The following snippet of code is found in the CCompilerContext.java file here

while (i > 0) {
    i = i - 1;
    if (i == 0) result += buffer + "[" + index + "]";
    else result += "(" + buffer + "[" + index + "]" + "<<" + (8 * i) + ") + ";
    index = index + 1;
}

@ffleurey @Lyadis; wouldn't this only work for integer types?

I would guess that the crazy union-trick should be used here as well?

Are you sure this code is actually used? It looks like a previous (and not deleted) code for serialization. But anyway, you are right, this should not work for double and float.
