I assume the address returned is negative, right? This is actually a
bug - "pointer->address"
should return an unsigned number. Isn't the second argument to
glBindTexture a non-pointer
argument? If yes, just use the negated address (if I understand
correctly, you just have to
have a unique value for the texture name - but I'm not an OpenGL expert).
Another option is to convert the value in C:
(define pointer->uaddr
(foreign-lambda* unsigned-integer ((c-pointer x))
"return((unsigned int)x);"))
