Code: typedef struct MY_DEF { int my_number; } MY_DEF; MY_DEF* my_type; my_type = malloc(sizeof(MY_DEF)); diag(str_printf(str, "nPointer:%d",(long)my_type)); Do you see any problem with this code?

Edit: you get different results either way depending on whether PRAGMA_POINTER is defined or not. Last edited by Quad; 11/19/17 17:13. 3333333333

I tried this format, and finally i will stay with my original type, because (str, "nPointer:%p",(void*)my_type) gives back a hexadecimal number, mine gives back a decimal number.
