I would definitely not go that far, since the warning is generally

but we could try something more localized

__diag_push();
__diag_ignore(clang, 7, "-Warray-bounds");

__diag_pop();

I tried using just #ifdefs, but that did not work inside of macros.
We could use % everywhere, or possible wrap it inside of another
macro.
