A pointer IS just a memory address, but in C it also has a type associated (e.g. a pointer of type int* holds the address of an integer). This extra type information defines the size of the value found at that memory address, which may be significantly different from the size of the pointer (32 or 64 bits typically). Incrementing a pointer increases the address by the size of the destination, not by 1.
While I didn't mention types, I did say that one needed to know the end address. That may not have been the best way of saying it.

More like Grant and Longstreet, who were cousins-in-law.
Slashdotitis?
YOU! Start running ballistic calculations for my transcontinental chair! NOW!"
Don't worry as long as they use Microsoft software!
Still no excuse for wasting 15% of it.
Quite frankly, disk space is cheap.
Not on a 64GB tablet.
Time travel has its advantages.
We don't blindly hate Microsoft; we've seen it all too much.
Lousy programming from Microsoft, who could have known?
What does making people use Windows XP/IE6 have to do with web standards?
While LaTeX looks good printed on paper, the default MathJax fonts aren't great on a screen.
Maybe the Belgians shouldn't have ordered the heavy guns for Liege from Krupp (although that was more a case of nondelivery).

So that's how Wellington defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

It may be that W3C's pronouncements have moral content. That still doesn't mean that they are binding on Netflix and Amazon.
"ariel photography"?
Just because you can't get to Uranus doesn't mean you get to make fun of others.

Excuse me, but when did browser makers ever care about standards?
I have been here for ten years, and his number is much lower than mine. Hence, he isn't new here.
Why not dump the whole production team in?
Because someone still has to film it.
And I was hoping that one day rocket science might not be "rocket science."
Why not? It would be nice if sending a rocket into space was easy.
Not with that ID.
Minutes? I thought sarriac digestion took years.

True, but the size should be enough to know the address of the byte just past the variable..
But is it as large as RMS Emacs?
