[fpc-pascal] Assigning pointer address

[dhkblaszyk at zeelandnet.nl]

Hi, 

I want to ask if casting an integer to a pointer is valid
over all platforms. See below: 

p: PInteger;
v: longint; 

[...] 

v :=
4235423; 

p := PInteger(v); 

Of course, the value of the pointer
adress may vary, but in general is this a valid way to assign a pointer?
Or will some platforms or architecture give problems?
