This is a false positive. h_addr_list is declared as a char **, and technically it is, but gethostbyname only returns IPv4 addresses, i.e. ones that can fit in a DWORD.
That doesn't sound like a problem that would give that warning.
Why not? A cast of a pointer to a DWORD with 64-bit pointers would cause truncation, if it were indeed a pointer that were being cast. It isn't, even though it's declared that way. --Juan
