The code below doesn't evaluate the way you think it might in gcc 4.5.2 (and gcc 4.4.4). I'm not even sure how it should legally/correctly evaluate, but there is a powell() function in Numerical Recipes in C (1st and 2nd editions) that uses code like below and expects the answer to the second line to be 5 (i.e. for the x*x expression to be evaluated with the two different values of x and summed correctly). That's how I discovered this issue. gcc-compiled code in gcc 4.5.2/4.4.4 reports this: 1+2=4 1^2+2^2=8 I tried different levels of optimization, on both Linux and Windows (MinGW), all with the same result. Tiny CC-compiled code reports this: 1+2=4 1^2+2^2=5 Those are the only compilers I've tried. Here's the program: #include void main(void) { int x; printf("1+2=%d\n",(x=1,x)+(x=2,x)); printf("1^2+2^2=%d\n",(x=1,x*x)+(x=2,x*x)); } Thoughts??
