Question
When I am writing port to SOCKADDR_IN structure, can I use 0x5000 instead of htons(80)?
(Why 0x5000? -- I debugged htons(80) and it returned 0x5000)
La solution
Autres conseils
You can, but why would you want to? What's the problem with being portable? and clear? and the same as everyone else who has ever written this code?
