Comment (by rl1987):

 Are we doing the right thing here though? Intuitively, if we're writing
 code that a compiler might very reasonably optimize away, aren't we on a
 wrong path?

 Perhaps we should create tickets to fix parts of tor codebase that rely on
 putting integers into `void *` one by one?
