Any kind of relative/offset pointers require negative pointer arithmetic. https://www.gingerbill.org/article/2020/05/17/relative-point...

I don't think you can make such a broad statement and be correct in all cases. Negative pointer arithmetic is not by itself a reason to use signed types, except if you are:

1. Certain your added value is negative.

2. Checking for underflows after computation, which you shouldn't.

The article was interesting.
