Don't use explicit pointer arithmetic - write what you actually meant:

for(i=0; i<str_size; i++){ Send_char(str[i]);}

I use the CCS compiler and it works by permitting you to implement a write_char() routine and then does the
necessary glue to enable you to call it painlessly:

printf(write_char, "Counter=%d\n", count);

calls write_char with each char in the formatted string.  Quite a reasonable architecture for a PIC C
compiler.
