hey,

I compile that code with -Wall:

I want to know why you assume j = ... should give a warning but not i = 0.
(hint: what is the type of 0?).
In C, casts are implicit. That's how you can do things like
int ch = 'a';
you can't loose data here, while a cast from a 64bits int to a 32 bits can
loose data.
I was not precise enough : i was expecting a warning on the line where
htonl is called
