What's the critical line of code supposed to be doing?

  tab[i] = (void *) f;

Is the "tab" array meant to be an array of function pointers, or do
you intend to call f() and store a returned pointer in the array? I
presume the intention is the latter, in which case, the following
might be what you need:

extern void * f();

void *tab[40];
void tab_init () {
 long i;
 for (i = 8; i < 11; i++) {
  tab[i] = f();
 }
}
