Hello All,
I am trying to understand how GCC handles this piece of code, but
unfortunately the behaviour is different on different architectures
=====================================================
#include < stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int i = 2;
return printf("Post increment : %d, Pre increment : %d\n", i++, ++i);
}
=====================================================
On Powerpc (Powerbook G4) this gives
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Post increment : 2, Pre increment : 4
however on Intel machines this gives
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Post increment : 4, Pre increment : 2
On MIPS & ARM, the behaviour is different as well.
Can anyone please explain the same?? Also can anyone please point me
the direction where I should look in the GCC Internals for a clear
understanding??
Regards,
/Manjunath B.S.
