Corner case: will not match NULL

  int64_t offset = GetInt64(info[2]);
  char *ptr = Buffer::Data(buf.As<Object>()) + offset;

  if (ptr == NULL) {
    return Nan::ThrowError("reinterpret: Cannot reinterpret from NULL pointer");
  }

if offset > 0 then checking ptr == NULL will not match even if Buffer::Data(buf.As<Object>()) return NULL

etiher checking is useless or we need to check for NULL before adding offset.

Ya good point we should deprecate the parameter with a warning and then remove it in the next major version.

PR welcome.

probebly removing offset is a good idea.
also, offset can be applied using Buffer.slice (which uses TypedArray subarray())

[kuldeepdhaka]

BUT adding offset and NULL checking style is used through out the c++ code.
better is to remove from everywhere. (present in ReadObject, ReadPointer, ReadInt64, ReadUInt64, ReadCString also)
This would require considerable api change
