crash on 64-bit platforms due to uintptr_t typedef

[danadam]

On most 64-bit platforms a pointer size is 64-bit, while unsigned is 32-bit: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/language/arithmetic_types#Data_models

The typedef in fa_inttypes.h:

typedef unsigned uintptr_t;

and the usage of this uintptr_t like in aacenc_init() for example:

uintptr_t aacenc_init(...) {
    fa_aacenc_ctx_t *f = (fa_aacenc_ctx_t *)malloc(sizeof(fa_aacenc_ctx_t));
    ...
    return (uintptr_t)f;

will chop off half of the pointer value. When such pointer is dereferenced later, it causes a crash.

Hi @danadam .

Yes, don't care.
