Thank you for your suggestions! The following works:

typedef struct TVector {
    void    *ptr;
    long    toc;
} TVector;

void main(int argc, int argv[], OfCiPtr ciPtr)
{
    TVector    *tvec;

    tvec = (TVector *)ciPtr;
    tvec->ptr = ciPtr;
    tvec->toc = 0xdeadbeef;
}

Anyway, that looks like an unnatural way to initialize transition vectors...
