Also
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = *((unsigned long*)he->h_addr_list[i]);
is a potential buffer overflow where `long` is 64 bits since only the first four bytes of `h_addr_list[i]` can be accessed, and also potentially misaligned for `unsigned long`; and it will also not work correctly on big endian platforms where `long` is 64 bits. Using `memcpy()` would have avoided all these problems. I am really confused as to how you arrived at the conclusion that "yes, this is the way to copy 4 bytes from A to B".This sounds rude, I know, and I apologize; I don't want to single you/this project out personally. I am just frustrated that even today there are people who work on C/C++ projects seemingly without having made GCC's -fanalyzer/asan/ubsan/valgrind/etc. an important part of their development workflow.
