I'm inclined to think that that line of the man page example
should actually read:
e.data = (void *) i;
(I've changed the manual page to say that.)
Why there should be a "(char *)" cast there is a bit of
a mystery.
AFAIK, on every Unix implementation:
sizeof(void *) >= sizeof(int)
and for that matter:
sizeof(char *) >= sizeof(int)
So I don't believe the cast is 64 bit unclean.
Cheers,
Michael
