From a46c9047642d70f5619e4a14129d74dd1f6ea74f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 18:40:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] uml: comment about cast build fix Explain why the casting we do to silence this warning is indeed safe. It is because the field we're casting from, though being 64-bit wide, was filled with a pointer in first place by ourselves.
