side effects in argument lists

[Mikael Pettersson]

Consider the following program:
---snip---
#include <stdio.h>
int count = 0;
void bletch(int junk) {
	printf("count == %d\n", count); /* 0 or 1 ? */
}
main() {
	bletch(count++);
	exit(0);
}
---snip---
This program exemplifies the situation where the behaviour of the
callee depends on whether the caller has completed *all* of the
side effects from evaluating the arguments of the call or not.

Q: what sayeth the dpANS about this?
If count++ _is_defined_as_ (++count, count-1) then I guess things
are cool, but what if the definition is less strict?
