Hi,


Does anyone know about books, articles or papers written on
converting pointer arithmetic to array reference automatically?


e.g.: main() ===>> main()
                        { {
                            int a[100]; int a[100];
                            int *p; int *p;
                            int i; int i;


                            p = a; p = a;
                            for( i=0; i<100; i++ ) for( i=0; i<100; i++ )
                                { {
                                    *p = 0; ===>> /* pointer arithmetic p++ removed */
                                    p++; ===>> a[i] = 0; /* or p[i]=0 */
                                } }
                        } }


Thank you for help.
