RE: [EXTERNAL] Support load balancing in libpq - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Dear Daniel, Jelte

Thank you for creating a good feature!
While checking the buildfarm, I found a failure on NetBSD caused by the added code[1]:

```
fe-connect.c: In function 'libpq_prng_init':
fe-connect.c:1048:11: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
 1048 |  rseed = ((uint64) conn) ^
      |           ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
```

This failure seemed to occurr when the pointer is casted to different size.
And while checking more, I found that this machine seemed that size of pointer is 4 byte [2],
whereas sizeof(uint64) is 8.

```
checking size of void *... (cached) 4
```

I could not test because I do not have NetBSD, but I have come up with
Following solution to avoid the failure. sizeof(uintptr_t) will be addressed
based on the environment. How do you think?

```
