Don't get confused with stuff like intptr_t. All you're doing is casting the value stored by a pointer (not the value stored by the pointed to object) into an integer type so that bitwise operators can be used …

You can use intptr_t, which I believe is defined in stdint.h. It's an integral data type that is supposed to always be able to hold a pointer. If I'm not mistaken, it is part of the C99 standard.
