I'm trying to compile a piece of code where it calls uses static_cast to do something like the following:

  __m256i values;
  int64_t i = 1;
  static_cast<void*>(values + i);

but this results in the error:

error: invalid static_cast from type ‘__m256i’ {aka ‘__vector(4) long long int’} to type ‘void*’

It appears this conversion invalid or static_cast is not appropriate here? Is there an alternative approach to perform the conversion?

This is pretty low level stuff, and I'm not too familiar with this.
