Okay so you want sarcasms, have at it.

If you had ever looked at optimised compilations, you would have noticed that 
optimising compiler emits that branch implicitly in scenarii like the current 
code to deal with that case, thus rewriting the code as

if (nCoeffs > 0) {
    do { ...; i++ } while (i < nCoeffs);
}

This patch is simply making the branch explicit so we can share the otherwise 
identical C code.

Just so you know, the correct type for positive sizes is size_t.
You know, a size, like *not* a stride.
