DB_ADDR aka uintptr_t is just stated as being large enough to hold
an address. It is not listed in the set of types the C Standard makes
size guarantees about. See
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf in
section 5.2.4.2.1 for the relationship between types that are guaranteed.
Notice that uintptr_t is just described in English when it shows up
in the standard and not in this list.

I don't think we can assume any specific integer type is equivalent to
uintptr_t.

It is a good example for function templates but they are not in C.

That should be DB_ADDR unless there is another sweep to eliminate DB_ADDR.
But I wouldn't do that on this pass.
