Not explicitly, but there is the C-FAQ which is very useful when trying to 
understand the intricacies of the C language, especially pointers and 
arrays. It's available at serveral places on the 'net, for instance 
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/C-faq/faq/ .

I don't know if this particular issue is addressed there though.

(While this doesn't directly belong on this list, the kernel code tends to 
get quite chummy with pointers and so has an indirect bearing on 
understanding kernel code).
