Hi! Thanks for the patch!

1. Please, don't use ':' in github tags. It just is not our
commit message style.

2. Specify branch and issue links here before sending
the email. Otherwise I need to spend some time to find
your branch by an issue number. What may be complicated,
when an issue has many branches.

3. On the branch (ksosnin/gh-4515-build-warning) I see 2
commits. Here I see one. Please, send the latest and the
most actual version.

4. In fact, the initial advice in the issue is wrong.
We should not ignore this error. Sun_path is expected
to be zero terminated (at least on Linux). Cite:

    "for maximum portability and ease of coding"

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/unix.7.html.

As Alexander said, on some implementations it may be
not required. But on others it may be. So just fix the
warning. Don't ignore it.

It is not worth trying to save the one byte in a hope,
that all supported versions of all supported OSs are
able to cope with not zero terminated path.

5. In case I had agreed with necessity to ignore the
warning, I would have said, that we should not put these
ignore instructions here. We have trivia/util.h for that.
And we would have needed a better name than WSTRINGOP.

But anyway the warning is valid, so this piece of code is
not needed.
