I think it is a good idea to just define the order to be left-to-right (every
operator is a sequence point). The compiler can always reorder evaluation of
subexpressions it can prove pure across sequence points. So you do not lose
much.
It should always be better to make an arbitrary decision rather than leaving
stuff
implementation-defined.
Something that goes in the same general direction:
Quiz: What does the following code compute?
import std.stdio;
import core.exception;
void main(){
int a,b;
int[int] aa;
scanf("%d %d",&a,&b);
try{aa[a]=aa[b];printf("Y\n");}catch(RangeError){printf("N\n");}
}
