That's odd, as "man(7)" says "All of the arguments will be printed next to each other without intervening spaces". I'd play it safe and quote the arg anyway.

In theory, no (if otherwise, I'd like to know why):

Oh, you're right. I had missed that. In GNU/Linux hosts, though, any pointer (including function pointers) can be given to %p.

The only platforms where %p wouldn't work on all pointers would be platforms like IBM i, which has both 64-bit (process local) pointers and 128-bit (tagged space) pointers and where you can declare and use pointers of different widths in the same program.
