Just for someone else who might stumble upon this:
a++ is the same as a = a + 1.

In your case a := *count so:
*count = *count + 1, or in other words: Increment the variable count points to

If you did *count++ then the ++ has a higher precedence than *, so here a := count:
count = count + 1, or in other words: Increment the pointer count itself.
Fun fact here is that count++ first returns count and then increments it, so *count++ would evaluate to what count points to just before executing this line.

The explanation made it more confusing...
