Thanks. This is better. But the advice can be simplified: If pointer arithmetic
is involved, uintptr_t is better suited than intptr_t. And if pointer arithmetic
is not involved, uintptr_t and intptr_t are equivalent and equally good. So,
a simpler advice would be to always prefer uintptr_t (to represent pointer
values).
