Before this PR, 'CollisionsReceiveDifferentIndexes' test allocate 4 type variable `i` and then pass the address `&i`, but in 'NativeCallStack' function read the pointer as 8 types, so the AddressSanitizer report "Memory access partially overflows variable i". This PR change the variable `i` to `size_t` to avoid this undefined behaviour.

Hi,

Thank you for the fix. This is correct. Context to the other reviewers: We just needed *some* unique "addresses", as we know that these aren't going to be dereferenced it didn't matter what the addresses are.
