C/C++ prioroty question

[Hrach_Techie]

Am confused..

int m[2] = { 1, 5 };

cout << ++*m; //this gives 2

my question is, why is the dereference operator evaluated before ++ inspite of the fact that ++ has a higher precedence than *?

ANy pointers there?

[Speedy Gonzales]

Операторы ++ и * имеют одинаковый приоритет и порядок выполнения справа налево. Скобки тебе не помогут?

Everything seems to be fine... I don't see any problem here.
To be simple... in case of prefix unary operators, the operators are executed in the right-to-left order...

operator ++(void) has to be applied to something. Something is dereferenced m.

[Hans Andersen]

just curious, what were you expecting?

[Speedy Gonzales]

guess he expects 5

[Hans Andersen]

but how can one ++arrays?

[Agregat]

никак на самом деле.
