However, we can compile it with -std=gnu++17 (C++17 with GNU extensions), because one of that extensions permits calculations on void pointers. It appears the extension is only for C, not for C++: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.1.0/gcc/Pointer-Arith.html#Pointer-Arith Also, the C and C++ standards forbid subtracting pointers that do not point into the same array, so subtracting the results of two distinct 'malloc' calls is undefined behaviour. See e.g. https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/ARR36-C.+Do+not+subtract+or+compare+two+pointers+that+do+not+refer+to+the+same+array
