C allows you to index one element beyond the end of an array. So, this uint8_t eightMembers[8]; uint8_t *p = &eightMembers[8]; is legal, but uint8_t eightMembers[8]; uint8_t *p = &eightMembers[9]; is not. In both cases you cannot actually use the memory at *p. I think gcc is detecting the indexing but not the access. Andrew.
