It shouldn't have to... are you passing it something other than void *
(as required in 4.9.6.1)?

Of course, in models where data pointers are smaller than code pointers,
you will encounter the fact that ANSI doesn't guarantee that pointers to
functions can be cast to void * without losing information...  In other
words, there is no ANSI-conformant way to print pointers to functions
(why would you want to in portable code, anyway?)
