I've been wondering about the intended use of this facilitator macro
for some time and concluded that it is plainly wrong. It should
take a pointer value from a buffer, but what is the use of a pointer
that pointed to something on the _target_ machine? It cannot be
meaningfully dereferenced on the host.
Okay, pointer arithmetics is done in one place, but IMO it is better
to explicitly state the object size there, because that's how things
are done elsewhere in the code, so it is less surprising for anybody
reading the code.
The irony is underlined by the fact that all three uses of the macro
need a subsequent typecast to ulong, which proves the whole concept
flawed.

Probably so. It's been so long since I wrote that I don't recall
my original intent, other than maybe paranoia that some architecture
in the future would have pointers and longs of different sizes.
I'll leave the macro in defs.h though, since it's possible that
somebody's extension module uses it.
BTW, was there a reason that you changed this?:

Probably so. It's been so long since I wrote that I don't recall

It wasn't my patch so I'm only offering my ACK for the original change and my
reason is that multiply has higher operator precedence than add (and subtract) in normal
arithmetic so the outer parentheses were never necessary anyway. They didn't create an
error but they weren't needed either. The inner parentheses are required.

It wasn't my patch so I'm only offering my ACK for the original change
and my reason is that multiply has higher operator precedence than add
(and subtract) in normal arithmetic so the outer parentheses were
never necessary anyway. They didn't create an error but they weren't
needed either. The inner parentheses are required.

Right I understand that, but the sources are full of such
"extra" parentheses, some to prevent compiler warnings, but
mostly just for ease of maintainability/understanding.
I just was wondering why that line was explicitly changed.

No reason, except I removed them for some reason while developing the patch
and forgot to put them back afterwards. I can leave it as-is.
Oh, I've just realized that this actually changed the expression, because
originally both variables were pointers to ulong, so
(next - si->s_index)
should become
((next - si->s_index)/sizeof(ulong))
I wonder whether this was originally intended. Let me have one more look at
this.

I had to dig back in 2.2.x sources, but the divide should indeed be there.
I'll send an updated patch tomorrow (too late for me in Europe now).
