[Bug c++/26670] New: attribute((packed)) sometimes not ignored for non-PODs

[debian-gcc at lists dot debian dot org]

[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.
