Other than the "0" case (which shouldn't elicit a warning (but will)), I 
cannot justify allowing int -> pointer conversion via the standard. I 
was simply thinking of the (non-stupid) user who wanted (more 
generically) to do:

(gdb) print my_function (0x1234578)

That *would* require a cast, but I cannot convince myself that gdb need 
be so strict. Issue a warning about a non-standard conversion and do it.

"0" is, of course, a special case for pointer conversion. The standard 
explicitly allows that (4.10.1 in n3290 draft).

Let me know what you would like me to do.

Keith
