I would be not the least bit surprised to find that some
C compilers generate different machine code for a[i] and
*(a+i).  The most likely reason is that the compiler
realizes that a[i] is a common usage and has some hack
to recognize it and generate particularly efficient code.

If the code for a[i] and *(a+i) do different things, though,
the compiler is broken.
