Hi Brian, There is no guarantee whatsoever as to the order of evaluation of arguments passed into functions. int i = 0; Foo(++i, ++i, ++i); // Foo(1,2,3)? Foo(3,2,1)? Foo(3,3,3)? Other...? You can't even rely on seemingly identical steps having same order of evaluation. int i = 0; int j = 0; Foo(++i, ++i, ++i); // e.g., Foo(1,2,3); Foo(++j, ++j, ++j); // e.g., Foo(2,3,1); Surprise! If your code relies on particular order-of-evaluation, break out those evaluations into separate lines of code and use explicit variables to hold the result which are passed into the function. I was bit by this back in the 80's when I got my first optimizing compiler. HTH, --Eljay
