Hi Ted,<br><br>Would visiting the InitList from right to left lead to some bugs? For example:<br><br>int x = 3;<br>int a[3] = {1, x = 1, 2*x+3};<br><br>At last a should be { 1, 1, 5 }. But visit from right to left results { 1, 1, 9 }<br>
</blockquote><br></div>I don't think the order of evaluation is defined (we should consult the standard). If there is an explicit control-flow dependency between the subexpressions, we should put that explicitly in the CFG. In that case visiting the subexpressions from right-to-left or left-to-right won't matter (as the expressions will have already been evaluated).</blockquote>
<div><br>Agree.</div></span></blockquote><br></div></div></div><div>Another thing I thought of is cases like the following:</div><div><br></div><div>int a[3] = { x = (y = 2 * x), (x = 2 * y) ? 4 : 5, x };</div><div><br></div>
<div>Here there is a bunch of control-flow, but because of the ? operator the expression "(x = 2 * y) ? 4" will always be evaluated first (since it is hoisted in the CFG as a block-level expression), even if we did left-to-right visitation of the the subexpressions of the InitListExpr. Thus the only way to ensure a fixed order of evaluation is to put it in the CFG (i.e., we couldn't do it in GRExprEngine even if we wanted to).</div>
</div></blockquote></div><br>Right. <br>
