[lwip-devel] [patch #5846] struct sockaddr_in has different alignment than struct sockaddr

[Jonathan Larmour]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #5846 (project lwip):

This doesn't seem right. No-one should be declaring a "struct sockaddr". This
means that we only ever declare sockaddr_in's, and cast them to sockaddr's,
and that means the alignment is always fine.

If there is a compiler generating a warning for this, that's unfortunate, but
we should not increase footprint or complexity just to silence a warning.

What code is causing the warning?
