Hmm, it's entirely possible that I spoke out of my ass then.
I think one example where clang figures out that it's not a problem
was in the kernel. But if it's shut up there... Not sure if I had
another example.
Now I'm wondering if it's completely retarded and just warns if you
take the address of a packed member and completely ignores
alignment *sigh*
