%p is listed as a printf directive in Harbison and Steele's 3rd Ed. "C: A
Reference Manual". It notes that it's defined in ANSI C (but that few
non-ANSI compilers implement it). It lists it as taking a void*, but that
the modifying flags, and the output format, is "implementation defined".
So, that should be the portable way of printing a pointer, regarless of
type/length.
