ANGLE Metal primitive restart range computation could index with size_t

It'd be simpler to understand that the index does not overflow. The index limit is size_t.

This is certainly easier to understand. r+ with a couple of small questions.

I defer to kpiddington's review if there's any further feedback.

Would it be better to use "++i" here for consistency with the inner loop?

Out of curiosity do you want to leave the restart indices in these ranges or elide them?

How hot is this routine? If it's called very often then maybe there is an advantage to continuing to pass mRestartIndices as an argument to reduce copying (or is return value optimization expected to handle this)?

restart indices should be in the ranges.

RVO is expected.
It's not hot, it's called during draw, but only once after the buffer is modified.
