[vlc-devel] [PATCH] es_out: merge es->i_id with es->fmt.i_id

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

You cannot have more than uintptr_t references on an object in memory (or even all objects).

But as François pointed out, no matter how large the integer, you can always overflow after long enough.

I just don't see the point in using handles or IDs when you can use pointers. Pointers are generally the easiest identifier in C.
