No we can't, but we're also not going to try as we won't take that path 
on a 32-bit system. So we're getting a compiler warning about code that 
the compiler thinks might be executed even though it actually won't.

In this case though the fix is correct as we're always dealing with 
64-bit and those macros depend on the pointer-size.

It's not obvious that is the right fix as the incoming "size" is 64-bit. 
I think strictly speaking this:

typedef struct _ObjectTrace{
   jweak object;
   size_t size;

Should be using a 64-bit type for size.
