"Sorry, what I meant was, why do you prefer pointers to indexing for buffer manipulation?"

To be honest I always worked with pointers before and i quite like them because they are closer to the hardware(address and data) beeing a hardware engineer myself.
When it comes to buffers, pointers and indexing are the same but it looks like its easier to use indexing.
I just used indexing for my serial buffer and realised its easier to manipulate and keep track of the bytes count received.
I started the subject to share opinions about the cons and pros of buffer manipulation with pointers or indexing. And i learned something new from Peter Dannegger and all of you guys.
knowledge gaining and sharing is my goal.
Thanx
