"(void *) + offset" seems to be used quite often.
I tried enable this gcc option, only to see huge amount of warnings.
-Wpointer-arith
Warn about anything that depends on the "size of" a
function type or of "void". GNU C assigns these types a
size of 1, for convenience in calculations with "void *"
pointers and pointers to functions.
