Hello,
I am wondering of the validity of those lines, not meaning i'm using
them, but i cant point out in the norm if they are legal, and in such a
case the expected behaviour.
int a = 2;
int b = (++a) * ((++a)+2);
printf( "%d %d", ++b, ++b );
They compiled in Commeau, but that doesn't mean it's legal :)
Any help or suggestion is welcome!
Thanks,

No, they are not legal. If in doubt just try to evaluate the expression
in your head. Remember that there are no rules that say the just
because A comes before B in an expression A will be evaluated first.

The behavior is undefined as per clause [5/4] of the standard.

Well i'd think this is legal with undefined behaviour. Can you point me
somewhere in the norm that'd say it's not legal, really can't find
anything.

This one has undefined behavior, because a is modified twice without a
sequence point in between.
printf( "%d %d", ++b, ++b );
Undefined too, similar to the previous one.

Well, it's not a syntacital error. A compiler doesn't need to complain about
it.
So to sum up and check i did not misunderstand you, it's legal, but
undefined behaviour ?
Thanks for your answers!

That depends on what you define as "legal". In my definition, "legal" code
doesn't invoke Undefined Behaviour. If by "legal" you mean "syntactica lly
correct", then yes it's legal.

Kai-Uwe Bux already told you where to look in the standard. 5/4.
If you are unfamiliar with that notation, it means paragraph 4 of
section 5, not section 5.4.

Well i'd think this is legal with undefined behaviour.
"Undefined behavior" means the program is not well formed, hense
illegal.

Does that mean I'll be arrested for writing code like that?
Seriously, according to the standard, programs are well-formed or
ill-formed, and some well-formed programs have undefined behavior. It
doesn't say anything about legal or illegal. As always, using undefined
terms leads to confusion.

Valid pointers have two states. Either empty (NULL), or filled with an
address that must be at a valid address.
Valid addresses are:
1) The current global context. The first byte of the data of the
program
till the last byte. Here we find static tables, global context
pointers, etc.
This are the global variables of the program.

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.
