What's invalid about it? I haven't tried compiling this specific line of
code, but I've done stuff like it in the past many times.
Are you talking about adding an integer to a void pointer? If so, then
that's something that gcc supports and that the kernel uses all over the
place. A char* is incorrect because a char could be more than one byte,
in theory.
