I think we've reached the limit of what we can do with this warning. The header
file gives an explicit size to the array (14) which is explicitly a lie (as
indicated by the comment). I think Clang is entirely within its rights to
complain here.

However, if the reason you "know" you can overflow this array is because you
"know" that the actual struct is sockaddr_in6, simply cast the pointer ta
sockaddr_in6, and use that struct. =]
