[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/356548]
Under some circumstances, non-PODs are not properly stripped of their
packedness:
struct nonpod {
nonpod();
};
struct nonpod_pack {
nonpod n;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
struct nonpod_pack2 {
nonpod_pack p;
} __attribute__ ((packed));
gives
foo.cc:6: warning: ignoring packed attribute on unpacked non-POD field 'nonpod
nonpod_pack::n'
nonpod_pack2::p should also have the packedness ignored, since it is a non-POD.
