    <p>The code you posted is invalid form the point of view of C language. The result of any cast in C is an rvalue. It cannot be used as an argument of <code>++</code>. Operator <code>++</code> requires an lvalue argument. I.e. expression <code>++((unsigned) x)</code> is non-compilable in standard C language. </p> <p>What you actually observe in this case is GCC's "generalized lvalues" extension </p> <p><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/Lvalues.html" rel="nofollow">http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/Lvalues.html</a></p> <p>Per that extension (and contrary to the standard C), a cast applied to an lvalue produces an lvalue. When you attempt to write something into the resultant "generalized" lvalue, the value being written is converted <em>twice</em>: it is first converted to the type specified by the explicit cast, and then the intermediate result is converted again to the type of recipient object. The final result is placed into the recipient object.</p> <p>For example, if with your <code>x</code> you do</p> <pre><code>(unsigned) x = 0x100; </code></pre> <p>it will be actually interpreted by GCC as</p> <pre><code>x = (uint8_t) (unsigned) 0x100; </code></pre> <p>and the final value of <code>x</code> will be <code>0</code>. </p> <p>And this is exactly what happens in your example. In GCC your </p> <pre><code>++((unsigned) x) </code></pre> <p>is equivalent to</p> <pre><code>(unsigned) x = (unsigned) x + 1; </code></pre> <p>which is in turn interpreted by GCC as</p> <pre><code>x = (uint8_t) (unsigned) ((unsigned) x + 1); </code></pre> <p>This is why you get <code>0</code> in <code>x</code> as the result, and that is the <code>0</code> that then gets assigned to your <code>y</code>.</p> <p>This extension is referred to as <em>deprecated</em> by GCC docs.</p>

    1. COThanks for the extensive answer. Codepad just swallows the code without any warning, I should have tried it with gcc myself...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
