Description

Correctly handle this source from a user on all architectures/compilers/optimizations:
```c
#include
#include
#include
#include

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
struct sockaddr_in addr;
memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr));
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
addr.sin_port = htons(123);

int mysocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect(mysocket, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
return 0;
}
```
