It saves you needing a separate index variable. If you're doing something like LZSS decompression it makes the relative window offsets natural (absolute). Not sure I'd recommend coding like that today, unless ptr was a smart pointer that had bounds checking, but for the time period it was a perfectly fine technique. |
