That was not the point of my mail, but it is interesting.

If I got you right, your question was: how can I read from a non-blocking 
socket (using gnutls_record_check_pending()).

My answer just said, how I do it.
It might be of help, but maybe not.


If casting from int to void * and back doesn't work on your machine, I would 
be interested in the output of

#include <stdio.h>
void main(void) {
	int x=1;
	void *p=(void *)(ssize_t)x;
	x=(int)(ssize_t)p;
	printf("%p %d\n",p,x);
	return 0;
}
