alt Hacker News> I'll wager you assumed all compilers process this line in the same way
You would lose that wager.
What I mean by "I do know the answer" is that I know that this is undefined behavior and why it is undefined behavior and that different compilers can give different results and also that even if I test the compiler I use to see what it does I can't count on that not changing any time the compiler gets updated.
Fair, but that was not clear to me that that's what you meant. It's clear that others interpreted it the way you intended too (since there are multiple replies saying exactly what you said) but I also don't think I'm the only one who misinterpreted. Sorry that I did.
