Pointer arithmetic in C/C++ takes into account the size of the objects pointed to. Hence, the first line above is equivalent to SomeMove = *(AllMoves + 8); //If you want, this is in turn equivalent to // //SomeMove = *(Move*)(((void*) AllMoves) + 8*sizeof(Move)); // //but we don't need to bother about that, since the compiler does the //"right thing".
