I don't believe that's a portable assumption. The structures could
have different padding bits, so unless key is the first element (in
which case all is well, as structs can always be converted into a
pointer to their first element),

need not work. It still doesn't fix OP's other problem, in which he
attempted to increment the void pointer.
