His point is valid for LP64 where you don't really
have to use specially defined types. As you are doing,
a cast to long is valid in those cases. The problem is
win64 where long size is not pointer size.

Which is why a "safe cast pointer to int" macro could
be used to hide this problem.

Anyway, I didn't even know we were supporting win64...
