How to jump the program execution to a specific address in C?

Question

I want the program to jump to a specific address in memory and continue execution from that address. I thought about using goto but I don\'t have a label rather

Answer 1

gcc has an extension that allows jumping to an arbitrary address:

void *ptr = (void *)0x1234567;  // a random memory address
goto *ptr;                      // jump there -- probably crash

This is pretty much the same as using a function pointer that you set to a fixed value, but it will actually use a jump instruction rather than a call instruction (so the stack won't be modified)
