void
- and Function-Pointers In GNU C, addition and subtraction operations are supported on pointers to void
and on pointers to functions. This is done by treating the size of a void
or of a function as 1.
A consequence of this is that sizeof
is also allowed on void
and on function types, and returns 1.
The option -Wpointer-arith requests a warning if these extensions are used.
