What is actually being printed isn't a pointer, but the difference
between two pointers (I assume from your comments; the code included
isn't enough to show where they come from).  That means the correct
type of what's being printed is size_t, which our printf seems to
support with a "z" modifier.  Removing the explicit casts or (if
necessary), replacing them with something that is big enough will also
be needed.
