Hello
I've read a long time ago in the MSDN that C++ language defines no sequence
points
Now I read in the 1998 ISO standard a small list of sequence points in C++
Does C++ defines sequence points ? It really should if anyone asks me ...
Thank you

If you are reading the 1998 Standard (for C++ language, I presume), why
are you asking _us_ whether C++ defines sequence points? It's spelled
out for you in the Standard. How else would we tell you except by looking
in the Standard?

As always, MSDN and other documentation merely seek to *describe* the
language, and may be wrong; they carry no authority whatsoever. The
standard *defines* the language, and so is always right, by definition.
Even if it says something that seems wrong, that's just the way it is
(some people refer to these as "bugs" in the standard.)

Sorry but this is theory.
I had the enough bad luck to see the reverse in practice. Once I wrote web
pages
in HTML/CSS. Ask any web designer who makes the CSS standard:
Internet Explorer or the World Wide Web Consortium ?

In that case: is your question about the C++ language (theory) or about
your compiler (practice). If it is about your compiler this is not the
best place to ask this question.

Hello all,
I have read the definition of a sequence point in the standard and can
follow it mechanically, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time grasping
the conceptual meaning and significance. Can someone out there offer good
intuition on sequence points???
Thank you!

After browsing though many newsgroups articels I'm still not shure how
operator precedence, operator associativity, sequence points, side
effects go together. Currently I have the following view:
An expression
a = b() + c() * d++;
can be transformed with the rules of operator associativity and
operator precedence into a tree

I know the basic definition of a sequence point (point where all side
effects guaranteed to be finished), but I am confused about this
statement:
"Between the previous and next sequence point an object shall have its
stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression.
Furthermore, the prior value shall be accessed only to determine the
value to be stored."
Can someone give me examples of expressions that "barely"...

Hi All,
I have written the following prog.
int main()
{
int val = 4;
printf("size of val = %d, val = %d",sizeof(++val),val);
}
output: size of val = 2, val = 4
The output expected was : size of val = 2, val = 5

According to the standard these are how we define sequence points:
*the call to a function ,after the arguments have been evaluated
*the end of the first operand of the following operators :

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
