Hello,
  Your suggestion of removing extra casts does operate correctly under windows x64/x86 variants.
Windows compilers have improved.

thanks,

Stan.

On an x86 Linux machine, the above 2 instances changed now complain 
about warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

so should those be cast to (osmv_query_req_t *) (long) or 
(osmv_query_req_t *) (uintptr_t) or something else ?

We should return to my original patch submission.
remove the (long*) (long) and replace with (uintptr_t)

Only the case @ line 433 compiler wise, requires the (uintptr_t) to eliminate the x86 compiler warning: conversion from ptr to ib_net64_t is sign-extended which may result in unexpected runtime behaviors.
Otherwise, x64 & x86 compilers digest the single cast approach.
The real question becomes, are the runtime truncations observed by Mellanox still present with the single cast?

But the pointer has 32 bits, so the compiler warns you it chucked the
upper 32 bits of node_guid.

The correct cast in C99 is (osmv_query_req_t *)(unitptr_t)

But one should look upon all of these with great suspicion and take a
moment to figure out where the original non-pointer came from. It
better not be from network data or you have a security problem.

Just reading the line from here looks insane, casting a GUID to a
pointer? :)

p_req_madw->context.ni_context.node_guid has 64 bits type.

Hello,
  I assume the original casts were there for a reason hence the cumbersome double cast?
Mellanox had reported a truncation problem which was fixed with the (uintptr_t) replacement of (long*)(long).
It certainly make more sense to use the single cast if it works; no truncation.
I'll check with those who discovered the truncation and see if they tried the obvious single cast approach.

[PATCH] replace (long*)(long) casting with transportable data type (uintptr_t)

[Stan C. Smith]

Hello,
  In osm_vendor_ibumad_sa.c the casting of a pointer to a long causes data truncation problems in 64-bit Windows where sizeof(long)
!= sizeof(void*).
'uintptr_t' is correct in both operating environments.

thank you,

stan.
