I have this loop (all variables are pointers):

*(foo+1) = *foo;
How do I optimize the pointer swap so that it uses -- and ++ or unary
+- instead of +1 (if possible - I don't want to have more #defines
than code)?
IOCCC winners can really help me with this :P

Assuming the pointers are of the same type:

memmove (baz + 2, baz + 1, (bar - (baz + 1)) * sizeof *baz);

sort still fails
actual output: 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 3 1 1
intended output: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
somehow memmove fails while iterated swap works. wierd.
