In this line:
int * int_ptr2; = (int *)test;

I meant:
int * int_ptr2 = (int *)test;

My bad.

Also to be a total c++ punk I shouldn't use c style casting:

test = reinterpret_cast<int>(int_ptr); //(int)int_ptr;
int_ptr2 = reinterpret_cast<int *>(test); //(int *)test;

Also found a great link for understanding macros:

This is what I mean yes. Usually when you see this in code, it was just someone taking a shortcut. There is rarely a good reason for this. But when it is wanted, there's intptr_t (and uintptr_t).
