          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux

@regehr
The C99 standard (6.5.3.1.2) appears to be very clear on this point: "The
expression ++E is equivalent to (E+=1)."

[17:52:50] <TNorthover> LebedevRI: John Regehr is right.
[17:53:32] <TNorthover> It also says "See the discussions of additive operators
for information on [...] conversions [...]".
[17:53:37] <LebedevRI> TNorthover: so clang is implementing inc/dec incorrectly
[17:54:25] <AaronBallman> LebedevRI: yeah, I agree with John on that

clang clearly does not do promotions in the c++; case.

The question at hand is:
* signed char c = 127; c++;
  Is this UB? UBSan does not catch it.
* unsigned char c = 255; c++;
  Is this (not ub!) unsigned integer overflow?
  Integer sanitizer does not catch it.

If these aren't ub/overflows, then the computation should be done in some
promoted type?
If the computation is not done in promoted type, then conversion sanitizer will
not catch it either.
