The following code is from gcc docs and works as expected:

#include <stdio.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  static const int array[] = { &&foo-&&foo, &&bar-&&foo, &&hack-&&foo };
  int i = argc - 1;

  goto *(array[i]+&&foo);

foo:
  printf ("foo\n");
  return 0;

bar:
  printf ("bar\n");
  return 0;

hack:
  printf ("hack\n");
  return 0;
}


However, if I change the array type from:

  static const int array[] = { &&foo-&&foo, &&bar-&&foo, &&hack-&&foo };

to:

  static const void *array[] = { &&foo-&&foo, &&bar-&&foo, &&hack-&&foo };

I get the error:

label-value.c:6: error: initializer element is not computable at load time

This doesn't make any sense to me.
