Does this scare anyone (does any else's compiler  do the same thing?)

main(a)
char (*a)[];
	{
	a = 0;
	printf("a=0x%x\n", a);
	a++;
	printf("a=0x%x\n", a);
	}

produces:
	a=0x0
	a=0x0

I realize that is the logical extension of a++ somtimes
adding 8,4,23.5, whathavyou, to a, but it still scares me.

PS:  In my book a++ should add 1 (one, uno, etc).
If I wanted to add sizeof(*a) Ida SAID
	a += sizeof(*a);

Oh well, I only work here....
