In the end I decided adding an extra temporary variable made the code a little more readable. (For some reason, extra recursion -- a function call embedded in a function argument -- seems to demand more mental effort than an extra temporary. Maybe my brain is just getting old...) > Also, aren't there more out-of-bounds reads in the code just after?

Please feel free to submit a patch fixing all these problems. > Also I couldn't help but notice it's also using 'char' rather than 'u8', > so bytes >= 0x80 are read incorrectly as they're sign extended... As I recall, the C standard doesn't specify whether char is signed or unsigned; it can vary with the implementation. However you are certainly correct that to ensure there is no sign extension, the code should use unsigned char or u8. Alan Stern
