Bug #: 53064 Summary: -Wsenquence-point behaves inconsistently Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.7.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: wenbin...@gmail.com This is my first bug report here, so please bear with me. Compiling the following code int f(int a) { return 0; } main() { int a = 0; a + f(++a ? 0 : 0); } with -Wall gives test.c:8:9: warning: operation on ‘a’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point] while compiling main() { int a = 0; a + (++a ? 0 : 0); } with -Wall produces no warning about sequence points. I think (not sure though) both are UB. gcc -v information: Using built-in specs.
