You need to pass -Wstrict-aliasing=2 flag because -fstrict-aliasing option is default, not the -fnostrict-aliasing option. Dereferencing will be eventually done by bind() method and somewhere by me in my library, otherwise what's the use of packing it..

my code has commented lines to bind() call, but if you uncomment them it will show them. otherwise another example here - https://godbolt.org/g/SMCdSk

Compiler disagrees - x86-64 gcc 7 (snapshot)!!warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing]

The sole existence of sockaddr_storage is in case you want to make domain unaware functions eg same function send() for ipv4, ipv6, sockaddr_un and alike, which is what I'm doing. Are you saying the code containing casts that I provided doesn't break strict aliasing rule? The char* cast is because char is the only type that aliases with any other type.
