This is IMO useful on all platforms, so it can be merged even if Windows is
to remain unsupported.

> Do not rely on long type being large enough to transfer C pointer values from
> C to Python
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DISPATCH-2270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-2270
> Project: Qpid Dispatch
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Jiri Daněk
> Priority: Major
>
> {code}
> // We pass pointers as longs via the python interface, make sure this is safe.
> STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(long) >= sizeof(void*), pointer_is_bigger_than_long);
> {code}
> This is wrong on Win64, where long is 4 bytes. There is multiple possible
> solutions:
> # use {{long long}}, trivial workaround
> ** https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/arg.html#c.Py_BuildValue
> # construct the python value explicitly, probably the nicest solution, and
> should not even add extra overhead
> ** https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/long.html#c.PyLong_FromVoidPtr
> # use PyCapsules, not a good fit for existing code, requires changing
> signature in C on the callee side
> ** https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/capsule.html
> **
> https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html?highlight=capsule#providing-a-c-api-for-an-extension-module
> and maybe even more possibilities. I am inclined to go with the
> PyLong_FromVoidPtr value constructor.
