The current approach to access the same memory location by using a
reference is giving this warning:
../libraries/AP_AccelCal/AccelCalibrator.cpp: In constructor ‘AccelCalibrator::AccelCalibrator()’:
../libraries/AP_AccelCal/AccelCalibrator.cpp:34:64: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
_param_struct(*reinterpret_cast<struct param_t *>(&_param_array))
^
../libraries/AP_AccelCal/AccelCalibrator.cpp: In member function ‘void AccelCalibrator::run_fit(uint8_t, float&)’:
../libraries/AP_AccelCal/AccelCalibrator.cpp:336:79: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]
struct param_t &fit_param(*reinterpret_cast<struct param_t *>(¶m_array));
^
Using a union allows us to get rid of the warning, make sure the sizes of the
different structs match and have a more elegant solution.
