The C standard makes this implementation-defined, and GCC defines it
like this (*Note (gcc) Arrays and pointers implementation::):
A cast from pointer to integer discards most-significant bits if
the pointer representation is larger than the integer type,
sign-extends(1) if the pointer representation is smaller than the
integer type, otherwise the bits are unchanged.
---------- Footnotes ----------
(1) Future versions of GCC may zero-extend, or use a target-defined
`ptr_extend' pattern. Do not rely on sign extension.
