I have no idea how a particular C compiler would behave but I think the
problem is that any time you do anything resembling
void *foo;
int bar = (int)foo;
then what you get is what you get. We all know that a 32-bit address and a
32-bit integer are the same thing to the z architecture, but to the

Is that applicable? His variable may be named ptr and it may ultimately be a
pointer but he never uses it as a pointer in his C code; that is, he never
dereferences it.
Is not the problem that unsigned int ppli = (unsigned int) ptr; is
implementation-defined (in other words, may not work)?

Hello mainframe C users,

which made me think again about the optimization strategy
of the z/OS C compiler.
I wrote a small C function; the purpose was to translate
