Since this is a GNU extension, GCC defines as adding 1. See the documentation
where this is documented.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.0/gcc/Pointer-Arith.html#Pointer- Arith


In GNU C, addition and subtraction operations are supported on pointers to void and on pointers to functions. This is done by treating the size of a void or of a function as 1.

A consequence of this is that sizeof is also allowed on void and on function types, and returns 1.

The option -Wpointer-arith requests a warning if these extensions are used.
