Package unsafe is in the spec, but converting unsafe.Pointer to uintptr (which is how I'm supposing you'd do your pointer arithmetic) is implementation-defined.

Package unsafe is in the spec, but converting unsafe.Pointer to uintptr (which is how I'm supposing you'd do your pointer arithmetic) is implementation-defined. This means I could create a perfectly legal implementation of Go where such things result in complete nonsense. I don't think package unsafe "counts".

If package unsafe doesn't "count", anything that C compilers allow beyond what ANSI C specifies don't count as C, thus many of its system programming features just vanish.

  I don't see how that relates to Go pointers.
