Your system isn't ANSI C. I would expect this breaks quite a number of programs.

"When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements of the 
same array object, or one past the last element of the array object; the
 result is the difference of the subscripts of the two array elements. 
The size of the result is implementation-defined, and its type (a signed
 integer type) is ptrdiff_t defined in the
 <stddef.h> header."

(Not got the standard in front of me, but it's quoted from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1645669/char-a-b-what-type-is-b-a-and-how-do-i-printf-it)
