     There needs only be one increment of n at the end of the loop, but, 
maybe it should be:
     if(n) n++;
     because I guess n starts from 0.

     I must agree, and I didn't think it was true before reading your 
example, that the post-increment may have a true semantic value beyond 
an attempt to optimise execution which would be futile. Which doesn't 
mean I'm convinced it :-)
