It's a hack, in the sense that using casts is usually a hack :-) (I would love for C to have casts you can easily grep for, like C++ has) In this case, it's not really a hack, as the void * is intended to store arbitrary data, both pointers and integers. > I see people using (int)(uintptr_t), which I guess keeps the > compiler happy in the first instance and actually culminates in a > correct cast to the right type. The cast to int isn't really needed. > So how about something like (enum da9062_compatible_types)(long)? "uintptr_t" is the proper C standard type for conversion between pointers and integers. The cast to the enum isn't really needed, so I'd remove it (the less number of casts, the better!). Long is the hack that works on ILP32 and LP64 platforms only ;-) Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
