No, this is just complete garbage.

This is utter shite, and doesn't even compile cleanly.

Sure, it's "just" a warning, and the code works. But no, I'm not
pulling crap like this. If you save a pointer in an integer
"hostdata[0]" field, then you damn well do the proper casts or helper
functions or something, you don't just ignore the compiler when it
very reasonably warns about it.

What the hell is going on? Nobody compiled this stuff at all? Or
nobody cares about new build warnings?

That is not acceptable.
