Now (long) is used for converting (void *) to integer. This patch replaces (long) with intptr_t.
I don't think this fixes the real problem. When VOIDP2INT and INT2VOIDP macros are used, it is possible that converted type won't fit into intptr_t. It is better to rewrite code that uses these macros in portable way and remove these macros.
Agreed, so let's go for the real fix - step by step. Even better would be if we could come up with a case where the current scheme causes a real problem - not sure if this is possible, some compiler warnings maybe?
There's an old adage: if it ain't broken don't fix it.
I'd much prefer if you could focus your patches on real bugs instead of cleanups or changes to code form.
Microsoft uses IL32LLP64 as memory model for Win64. So it certainly "ain't broken". Joerg
