Would you mind explaining why ?
I suppose, because of dependence on argument's order processing, isn't it?
- programmer must remember this dependency
- every compiler must follow this dependency
- in common case, it cannot be calculated concurrently (i.e. in parallel)
In C the calculation order of argument is undefined AFAIK.
