Then the check seems to work just as expected.

That kind of check produces a warning on 64-bit architectures, though:
warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

But as long as that is just treated as a warning and not an error, the 
check works fine. A way of fixing it would be to cast it through an 
intptr_t, but that'd require inclusion of stdint.h.
