Well, hm, but not on POSIX compatible platforms for sure. MAP_FAILED for example is now explicitly defined (since Issue 6) where (void*)-1 was formerly used (also by the standard). There is also (iconv_t)-1 standardized, where iconv_t is usually a pointer. So this ISO C, then. Hm. But ok, i can use intptr_t, it is already used in the lynx code.
