will be helpful for those in need The output is not strange, it is to be expected: You have three variables in main(), all of which are stored on the stack, and which happen to be right one after the other. One of these variables is the pointer itself. So, when you dereference the pointer in the third line, you get the current value of the pointer itself.
Nevertheless, this output is not predictable, it is undefined behavior: You are only allowed to use pointer arithmetic to access data within a single memory object, and in your case, the memory object is just a single int. Consequently, accessing *pa after the first pa++ is illegal, and the program is allowed to do anything from that point on.

I wish did fix the issue. How recent is your copy of ASIHttpRequest? My version looks different - there is some typecasting around that pointer arithmetic. Also, which version of XCode are you using?

I wish did fix the issue. You are incrementing the values before casting them to the wanted pointer
To interpret 'c' as another pointer you should rather do
printf("PTR    (c+1)  %p \n ",(unsigned int*)c+1);

item = (char*)heap + offset;

item = ((char *)heap) + offset

I really dont understand why im getting the error when creating template class shared pointer

help you fix your problem I dont understand the error message that im getting and i have no idea how to fix that; , Your problem is in the copy constructor function:
shared_pointer( shared_pointer& a)
{
    a.pointer = this->pointer;
    howManyObjects++;
}

shared_pointer(const shared_pointer& a)
{
    a.pointer = this->pointer; // Compilation error: assignment of member ‘shared_pointer<int>::pointer’ in read-only object
    howManyObjects++;
}

shared_pointer(const shared_pointer& a)
{
    this->pointer = a.pointer; // Pay attention that this get the value of a, and not the opposite.
    howManyObjects++;
}

Having trouble extending class (Dont understand whats wrong and dont understand other complex explanations on this site.

I dont understand how an arrays name is a pointer to the array

This might help you Im reading a book in c++ and I was doing some tests as I didnt understand something and when I tried printing these 3 lines I was expecting something different for all 3. The first one, the location in memory of the pointer, the second one, the address stored by the pointer, and the third one, the value at the address stored by the pointer. But instead the first two were the same: ,
I dont understand how an arrays name is a pointer to the array
arey          An array
&arey         Address of the array
f(&arey)      Passing the address of the array
f(arey)       Still passing the address of the array (ish) - thanks a lot, C!
f(*arey)      Passing the first element's value
