[cinvoke-dev] strtol cast in cinvoke_lua.c

[Shmuel Zeigerman]

What's the purpose of the following conditional define
in the function 'get_ptr_val' in 'cinvoke_lua.c'?

#ifdef _WIN32
    ret = (void *)(long long)strtol(pstr, &endptr, 16);
#else
    ret = (void *)strtol(pstr, &endptr, 16);
#endif

a) GCC on Windows issues a warning:
[Warning] cast to pointer from integer of different size

b) I compiled on Windows without the (long long) cast,
and cinvoke_lua.dll seems to work just fine.
Am I missing something?

Thank you.
