Is it possible using macro's in FPC or do I need to convert it to a
procedure? How would I cast the pointer in the latter case (without
having to change the sourcecode significantly)?

Thanks all, I decided to use an inline function and not to cast
the return pointer. However, I've got another interesting one. Does
someone have an idea how I could implement this? 

#define MYPRINT(var1)
printf(# var1 ":%dn", var1) 

Calling the macro as such :
MYPRINT(sizeof(int)); 

will yield: sizeof(int):4, which is useful for
debugging. 

Will I need RTTI for this? I never used it before so I
might be wrong.
