Pointers are still 32-bit, just with an added offset (and a tiny overhead). > doesn't have much to do with the "computed gotos" extension You cannot implement indirect threaded code without a computed goto. You can implement a direct threaded code, of course (generating jump or call instructions directly), but this is a totally different thing.
