[PATCH] fix warning from pack-objects.c

From: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:20

When compiling on ia64 I get this warning (from gcc 3.4.3):

gcc -o pack-objects.o -c -g -O2 -Wall -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>'  pack-objects.c
pack-objects.c: In function `pack_revindex_ix':
pack-objects.c:94: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

A double cast (first to long, then to int) shuts gcc up, but is there
a better way?

Make ui and i unsigned long and cast p to unsigned long (or perhaps 
ptrdiff_t is preferred?). On 32-bit archs it's no difference, but 64-bit 
archs can work with their native size. It's slightly faster (although I 
expect the compiler takes care of that anyways).

I noticed this earlier on my shiny AMD FX2 64-bit. The tests run just 
fine with my solution. I expect they will with yours as well.
