Fscking Pointers.

It seems C has caught the disease of 'we will modify your code according to what WE think it means'..
..my pointers to 254 byte structures are going haywire when I add 256 bytes to them...I have to add one instead...
..add that to the fact that to write to flash RAM you need to specify the *offset* from flash RAM base, but to read it you need to use the actual hardware address...
sigh.
What is the generic type for a simple pointer to presumably bytes, in ARM C?
Or should I resign myself to doing everything in 256byte chunks? the structure to be read and written from Flash  is exactly that big for obvious hardware reasons...
