I'd suggest that even if it's absolutely necessary, one could at least put something like #if (ULONG_MAX < UINTPTR_MAX) && !defined (SUPPRESS_TRUNCATION_ERROR) #error Truncating pointers to long is a bad idea here #endif in some source file or another, just so you have some indication whether or not things are going to break when you change the build environment.

static_assert(sizeof(DWORD) == sizeof(void*), "assume 32-bit pointers");

  If we're talking about "undocumented legacy code doing crazy casts," static_assert is probably not an option.
