------- Additional Comments From schlie at comcast dot net 2005-02-24 10:34 ------- Although I can confidently say that I've been less than enthusiastic with some of GCC's standards interpretations; here GCC's results in each of the examples you cite are within the set of semantically consent values which should be expected to result from an unspecified evaluation and/or value assignment order. (Although do agree that GCC has no license to return any value other than those which would result from these ordering ambiguities).
(Although do believe that GCC should adopt an lr evaluation order; as expressions which are otherwise ambitious are useless, and those which are unaffected are insensitive to it; resulting in no harm, only benefit; and with a little luck may lead to the C/C++ committees coming to their senses in time.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11751
