The macros for adding or subtracting from pointers cast the pointer type
to uintptr_t before doing the arithmetic. However, for 32-bit builds, if
the value being added or subtracted is larger than uintptr_t, then we
get errors when casting back to "void *" type. We fix this by casting
the result to uintptr_t before casting to pointer.
