this is because I'm feeding int_fits_type_p a (constant) pointer type:
The comment at the top of int_fits_type_p says it is supposed to be an integer type, which seems clear enough.
This question might make more sense if you explain what you are doing, and why you need to check whether a constant fits in a pointer type.
