This function is not reversing the tree, it swapping the left and right sub trees. for ex. 6 5 8 4 7 9 1 11 2 = 6 8 5 9 4 111

It appears to be an attempt to reverse the tree. However, there is a problem. It reverses the left sub-tree, then swaps the left and right sub-trees. Then it reverses the right sub-tree. But wait! The original left sub-tree which we reversed is now the right sub-tree, so we actually unreversed it.

Exactly. And note that if pointers and unsigned integers have the same number of bits, overflow can't be a problem as long as the array elements are 2 bytes or more long. I.e. if you have an n-bit machine, the last 2-byte array element can't have index more than 2^n/2 - 1 = 2^(n-1) - 1.
