Thread: Bad Pointer Usage

Please look at this code....

Code:

using System;

public class Bar
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		int[] a = {5, 4, 3, 2, 1};
		unsafe
		{
			fixed(int* ptr = a)
			{
				int* reader = ptr;
				while(true)
				{
					Console.Write("@ 0xX{0:X}is ", (uint)reader);
					Console.WriteLine("{0}", *(reader--));
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

This code didn't throw an exception (which I expected), but the program just terminates at some point... Btw, if I modify it and replace int[] a with int a (and make the pointer point to variable a), it'll work as expected (it'll throw an exception).

What do you guys think?
