It only kills the warning on 32-bit systems, the cast is wrong
either way.

Pointers can be up to "unsigned long" in size, therefore that
is the minimal amount of storage you need to store them into
if they are needed in integer form for some reason.

Any cast from pointer to integer like this is a huge red flag.
