That's pretty clever. Bad luck for us, however. The MinGW inttypes.h
defines PRIxPTR as "I64x". When I tried with an example, I got a warning
because intptr_t is "long long int" whereas "%I64x" requires an unsigned
int. Changing the cast to uintptr_t helps a little, but it's not enough
since "unsigned int" is definitely not large enough to hold a pointer!
I really should report that to the MinGW guys!
