Bug #: 57039 Summary: -Wsequence-point missing warning for such case Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: tango_antisp...@outlook.com Hi, I think -Wsequence-point should warn for such case: #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int color = argc; ++color = (color > 3) ? 0 : color; printf("argc = %d, color = %d\n", argc, color); return 0; } With -Wall, no warning at all. Since the ++ operation and = operation can make real 'color' update in any order. (Use "2" or "2 3" or "2 3 4" as parameters and you can see difference: > ./test argc = 1, color = 2 > ./test 2 argc = 2, color = 3 > ./test 2 3 argc = 3, color = 0 > ./test 2 3 4 argc = 4, color = 0 ) What is your idea? Thanks, Tango I am testing with such version: Using built-in specs.
