The following code assumes that the emptyBytes char array is suitably aligned to store an object of type DocumentStorage, but no alignment is enforced:
static const DocumentStorage& emptyDoc() {
static const char emptyBytes[sizeof(DocumentStorage)] = {0};
return *reinterpret_cast<const DocumentStorage*>(emptyBytes);
}
The code is also a strict aliasing violation.
