Depends how he did it.
Did he cast ?
int foo = (int)(pointer) ;
or did he just "do it" implicitly ?
int foo = pointer + 1 ?
Strikes me that it would be very tough to automate finding either of
those.
You are going to have to examine every instance of every pointer to
isolate arithmetic operations.
The flexibility of C is definitely a two-edged sword (ouchies!)

How can I find every line of a C program where a pointer is cast to an
integer, or vice-versa? I've got a library where the original author
treated pointers and integers as being the same thing, and I'm trying
to sort it out.
Thanks,
