[GD-Windows] VC 2005 Warning C4244

[Dan G. <dan...@gm...>]

G'Day,
  I'm trying to compile at warning level 4 and I'm getting a lot of
spurious C4244.  This warning is about an integer narrow storing
possibly loosing information.

The problem is with this kind of code:

u_short n = htons(x);

htons returns a u_short but, as the standard says, the result of
integer expressions is promoted to int (or unsigned) and is causing
the warning.  Is there anyway I can code it to shut up VC 2005?

u_short n = (u_short)htons(x) doesn't work, because the result is
still promoted in the context of an expression!

cheers
DanG
