Clang 6 reports the following warning, which is turned into an error in a
DEVELOPER build:
builtin/fast-export.c:162:28: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
return ((uint32_t *)NULL) + mark;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
1 error generated.
The compiler is correct, and the error message speaks for itself. There
is no need for any undefined operation -- just cast mark to void * or
uint32_t after an intermediate cast to uintptr_t. That encodes the
integer value into a pointer and later decodes it as intended.
While at it remove an outdated comment -- intptr_t has been used since
ffe659f94d (parse-options: make some arguments optional, add callbacks),
committed in October 2007.
