I tested this now. It's easy to get rid of the warnings from the 
pshpack*.h files (by e.g. #pragma clang diagnostic push, #pragma clang 
diagnostic ignored "-Wpragma-pack").

Bbut if I do "#pragma clang diagnostic pop" within poppack.h, the warning 
is enabled again once the end of poppack.h is reached, and the 
warning gets triggered at the end of the source file. So each 
pair of pshpack*.h/poppack.h would need disabling the warning 
ignoring again after the #include "poppack.h".

Do you have any suggestions on how to handle that better, or is it just 
simplest to go for the blanket ignore?
