+ * value of an int as 'item data' and 'func data' after casting into (void*). For 
+ * sure this works only on architectures where sizeof(int)==sizeof(void*).
+ * For real world usage you should hold a data structure or value in your 
+ * application and then give only a pointer to this data as data pointer.
