Good method for storing C pointer?

You could check out the way that SWIG does it.  That is, each pointer is
encoded as a string, like '_1203e5b40_Type_p' where the number is the
actual pointer value in hex and the Type is the pointer's type, like
"char".  SWIG comes with routines for manipulating points of this type
(incrementing, allocating, freeing, dereferencing, etc.).
