I realize this has been beaten to death, but there is a case that has popped up often enough in code that I've had to debug that it clearly seduces folk into forgetting that they're doing something slightly off-color. The situation pops up in cases like this: handle = hash (*p++, *p++); Clearly the person thought they were doing something straightforward (after all, "*ptr++" is the `atomic' load-a-byte construct in C, right??) whereas they were really playing with fire.... /bernie
