Yup. Did not feel great.

The worst part is that I admitted to writing code that rely on order of evaluation on Hackernews.

To my defense it is _very_ old code that I converted from an even older turbo Pascal program I wrote as a teenager




To clarify: the bug took about 3 minutes to figure out. Learning the evaluation order of procedure arguments is undefined took 20 years though :)


And I had no idea it was officially fixed ordered in standard. I've read mentions in papers but I never realized what they meant.


Well: The thing is that it is _not_ fixed. It is defined as unspecified.
