error: cast from 'void*' to 'long int' loses precision [-fpermissive]

void *wait(void *t){
   long tid;
   tid = (long )t;
    sleep(1);
   cout << "Sleeping in thread " << endl;
   cout << "Thread with id : " << tid << "  ...exiting " << endl;
   pthread_exit(NULL);
   return 0;
  }

运行以上代码时出现
cast from ‘void*’ to ‘long int’ loses precision [-fpermissive]
改为这样就好,用更大的接收，就不会有精度丢失异常。还可以用long long long来接收

void *wait(void *t) {
 long long tid;
 tid = (long long)t;
 sleep(1);
 cout << "Sleeping in thread " << endl;
 cout << "Thread with id : " << tid << "  ...exiting " << endl;
 pthread_exit(NULL);
 return 0;
}
