Not a very scientific approach: "it works with 2 compilers, thus it
must be correct" ;-)
However, mea culpa: I remembered the K&R example "a[i] = i++;" and
concluded that "i = ++i;" whould be undefined. Maybe it is under a
strict language interpretation (which would explain Compaq compiler
warning), but I admit that, while inelegant, I don't see how it could
give another result than expected.
Sorry,
