(gint) to_print
The example puts an int in the pointer "slot" instead of a pointer, by
casting it to the pointer type. It then retrieves the number by casting
the pointer back to an int.
Maybe not the best example, but commonly used nonetheless.
I'm sorry to take this into a digression, why would we want to
cast a pointer, which has a memory address stored in it, to an integer?
