[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Scope breaks nightly with gcc 8 (#794)

[Colomban Wendling]

@LarsGit223 I think it's a case of over-carefulness: no, there is nothing guaranteeing the size of a data pointer and the size of a function pointer to be equal [1], but in practice I would expect this to always be the case, especially on platforms where GTK+ works.
But as the check is here, I'd keep it, maybe just changing it to a `MAX()` if anything.

[1] actually in theory pointer to different data types could be incompatible, but it's kinda irrelevant void* ought to be able to store pointers to any type, so there's little reasons for other pointers not to simply have the same size.
