Strictly speaking, we did want to compare pointers, but char* are
special with QCOMPARE in that the pointed-to strings are compared, not
the pointers. So this wasn't doing what we wanted it to do.
We could static_cast to void* to do it, but subtracting one from the
other also gets us what we want, with simpler code. The drawback is that
if appendToBuffer() ever returns nullptr, we'll print a huge number as
the offset.
