The first result is correct, but what happened to the second?

Your code was wrong. The compiler did whatever it wanted.

Probably addresses have been shifted for some reason. But such

Nope. You invoked undefined behavior, the compiler caught you at it.


What was wrong with it? Assuming int and float are the same sizes and are aligned in a compatible way.
