Hi all!

C standard doesn't allow pointer arithmetic on void *.
Still, gcc allows it as an extension:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.0/gcc/Pointer-Arith.html

I can create a series of patches like this. Do we need it?

I don't think so, we only care about gcc & clang.

Still, if all supported compilers support the extension, then our CODING_STYLE.rst should mention that it is safe to rely on the extension.


Also, where is documented which compilers are supported by Qemu?

It is checked in configure - gcc 4.8 or clang 3.4 or xcode clang 5.1
