Or, alternatively, OP can get the "from the horse's mouth" explanation
from 5.1.2.3, subparagraph 2, in the draft n869 standard. (OP can,

Yes, but ISO Standards tend to make lousy tutorials. :-)

Nah.
Lawrence dropped out for a couple of years, then popped up out of nowhere
for a few months, and has since vanished again. (I hope he'll be back
soon.) I dropped out for well over a year, and then re-materialised. Chris
D disappeared for a while, but has returned. We hardly ever see Steve
nowadays, but just occasionally, he sticks his head round the door to see
what's going on.
It happens. I'm sure Dan is fine.

But it's a valid C expression, assuming appropriate declarations for
zip, a, dee, doo, and dah.

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

An expression

can be transformed with the rules of operator associativity and
operator precedence into a tree

I've read a long time ago in the MSDN that C++ language defines no sequence

I know the basic definition of a sequence point (point where all side

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"...

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.
