At my side, passing the object was already fine on 64-bit without  
Phil's patch. It is under 32-bit that the check has to be made.

If I have understood Phil's patch, it tries to set a long into an  
unsigned 32bit. Darren has already found it does not work under 64 bit  
for the case of passing the address of the object.

Since Trolltech already decided not to fix their bug, I would just  
leave the things as they are concerning PyQt. The alternative of  
passing the object works as it should in most cases. The cases where  
retrieving the object address via the call to internalID() fail are  
easy to catch because at the python side one receives a negative  
number when one is expecting a positive number and it can be converted  
as in the example I sent previously.

createIndex can accept a pointer or a quint32 so, in any case one  
would say it is a positive number. Perhaps forcing the return of  
internalId() to be a quint64 instead of qint64 in  
qabstractitemmodel.sip could do the job, but then we would not be  
respecting the (incorrect) Qt API.

So, unless I get I successful test under 32-bit with Phil\'s patch, I  
would just leave the things as they are.
