Just a question, why does angelscript deal with void* typecasting? O.o What dark and obscure magic does it use?

It's filled with void* all over the place. :D
I guess it's the most fastest way to bind functions. There are other ways more elegant and correct (like the ones in boost::function and boost::bind), but aren't as fast.

int on 64 bits platform is 32 bits if I remember well.

In most cases on 64 bit platforms long size = 64 bits = ptr size and on 32 bit platforms long size = 32 bits = ptr size.  So you could change all those int's to long's.  Or you could replace them with a typedef and have that controlled by a define like "PLATFORM_64_BIT".  That way on 32 bit it stays like it is and 64 bit it is proper.

...and you could even insert


--- Code: ---if(sizeof(long) != sizeof(void*))
    cbThrow(_T("Doom is upon us, the evil seed of pointer hacks spreads. Run! Run!"));
--- End code ---

at an early point to be 100% sure you know why your code crashes if it does.
