Warn when taking address of a packed member
This patch implements PR#22821. Taking the address of a packed member is dangerous since the reduced alignment of the pointee is lost. This can lead to memory alignment faults in some architectures if the pointer value is dereferenced. This change adds a new warning to clang emitted when taking the address of a packed member. A packed member is either a field/data member declared as attribute((packed)) or belonging to a struct/class declared as such. The associated flag is -Waddress-of-packed-member Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D20561 llvm-svn: 272552
