Using void pointers as universal arguments is widely used. However, when
compiling a 64-bit target, the compiler doesn't like when an int is
converted to a pointer and vice versa despite the presence of a cast.
This is due to a width mismatch between ints (32 bits) and pointers
(64 bits). The trick is to cast to a widening integer type such as
intptr_t and then cast to
void*.
When appropriate, the INT_TO_POINTER macro is used instead of this
double cast to make things clearer. The converse with POINTER_TO_INT
is also done which also serves as good code annotations.
While at it, remove unneeded casts to specific pointer types from void*
in the vicinity, and move to typed variable upon function entry to make
the code cleaner.
