Hi!

In src/ck-core/ck.C in Chare::CkAddThreadListeners the code looks like
void Chare::CkAddThreadListeners(CthThread th, void *msg) {
CthSetThreadID(th, thishandle.onPE, (int)(((char
*)thishandle.objPtr)-(char *)0), 0);
traceAddThreadListeners(th, UsrToEnv(msg));
}

Is the ((char *)thishandle.pbjPtr)-(char *)0 some strange remnants of
32-bit systems?

What's really intended here and what is the values really used for?
If the whole pointer value needs to be saved then CmiObjId needs to be
changed from containing int's to for instance intrptr_t.
