It's not, because everything is a pointer at that point, but the conversion cannot be done with reinterpret_cast<integer_t*>(...). The conversion is done "as soon as possible", which sometimes means "not at all" (an integer workspace array can't be converted, for example). The "info" argument is converted to int on the user side, the other arguments are converted to std::ptrdiff_t on the user side, if possible.
