[Libjit] Why is jit_value_create_long_constant used to parse pointer?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I see this piece of code. But it converts a string pointer to a long
type. Is it better to have an interface for pointers in libjit (I
don't find it)? Thanks.

jit_value_t hostmemptr = jit_value_create_long_constant(
      F, type_cstring, (long)"foobar");
