For portable usage, you should cast the pointer to (void *); it's not always
true that `int *' and `void *' have the same representation.  Apparently MSC
requires you to also use the `far' keyword in some memory models, but if they
claim to be standard conforming, that's a bug%.

% The very existence of a `far' keyword is non-Standard, but that's not what
  I'm talking about.  X3J11 says that `%p' matches `void *'.  If `void far *'
  has a different representation, there should be a different format specifier
  (e.g. `%Fp') to print it, so as to avoid breaking strictly conforming code
  that doesn't use `far'.
