Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Fix cast errors with clang

Build with clang fails with: CC util/libvirt_util_la-virsocketaddr.lo util/virsocketaddr.c:904:17: error: cast from 'struct sockaddr *' to 'struct sockaddr_in *' increases required alignment from 1 to 4 [-Werror,-Wcast-align] inet4 = (struct sockaddr_in*) res->ai_addr; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ util/virsocketaddr.c:909:17: error: cast from 'struct sockaddr *' to 'struct sockaddr_in6 *' increases required alignment from 1 to 4 [-Werror,-Wcast-align] inet6 = (struct sockaddr_in6*) res->ai_addr; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 errors generated. Fix by introducing a union of the appropriate sturcts.
