Log:
 To compute the difference between two addresses, cast the pointers
 holding those addresses to "void *" and then to "char *" (so we don't
 get warnings from casting directly to "char *" or errors from
 subtracting two "void *"s), and subtract them, rather than casting the
 pointers to an integral type possibly shorter than the pointers (to
 avoid warnings and to avoid the admittedly-infinitesimal chance that the
 two pointers don't differ in the bits that fit into the integral type).
