Need of Order of Evaluation Rules in C++17
- In a program, when the same memory location has to be modified by multiple operations within the program and the operations are unsequenced, this can lead to undefined behavior.
- In a program, if one operation modifies a memory location and the same memory location is used in an evaluation, but these actions are unsequenced, this can also lead to undefined behavior.
Due to these possible undefined behaviors, C++ 17 defined rules for Order of Evaluation.
Order of Evaluation in C++17
In C++ programming, the order of evaluation of expressions can have a significant impact on the behavior and correctness of the code. C++17 introduced changes to the order of evaluation rules, providing clearer guidelines and improving consistency across different compilers. In this article, we will explore the order of evaluation in C++17 and understand its implications.
