Re: [avr-gcc-list] OT Generic C question

Hi,

In C the result of this expression is undefined. The C language defines 
that the compiler is allowed to increment the variable i before or after 
the assignment operation.
h=i++ is valid C, h will have the old value of i, i will be incremented.
i=i++ is invalid C, the value of the variable i will be i or i+1 after 
execution of this expression, depending on the compiler.

Regards,
Nils
