void* pointer arithmetic is a GCC extentension
which could not be available in other build
tools (e.g. C++). This changes removes this
assumption.

v2: renamed from "use char* for pointer arithmetic"
    and removed all explicit extra cast with
    one typedef in memory.h.

Again [*] I'm trying to figure what this tag is, no hit on
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=id:331190993; is
this useful to commit it in the mainstream repository? So
far it is confusing me.

Ditto, not useful.

What about:

   typedef uint8_t UnstructuredData;

and:

       UnstructuredData *ptr;

?

Just "uint8_t *ptr" is enough; thanks for testing that it's enough.

Queued for the next pull request, thanks.

I am sorry, Philippe, I missed your message. If you prefer us to remove
Google specific tags from our commits, we will remove them.
