If you know the amount of bytes you
want to copy then you should use "Copy(buf, 32, count)" as argument for
decompress_r or if you don't know the amount you should change your
function from "array of Byte" to "PByte" and pass the address of the
32nd byte using "@buf[32]"

Or use the array slicing construct:

func(buf[32 .. <Last index of the array>]);

And it's still true: even I as a compiler developer can learn something new as I didn't know yet that this was possible.

:-) Wasn't there something in PL/1 that allowed a skewed slice of a 2-D array to be passed as a 1-D parameter?
