Actually void* just points to anything, with no regard to the type of that thing. Pointing to the void is more accurately described by NULL pointer.

So, when I want the void to point back at me, do I have to loop over void* or over NULL?
And how many iterations?

For the void to point back at you just dereference the NULL pointer
