No. I was just correcting your negative opinion of me.

(Though the epithets were less explicit than above, those are basically accurate capsule summaries of the semantic content of the things you wrote.)

IYO. Your opinions of the contents of the posts and my opinions seem to diverge considerably.

No. Nothing about me is "incorrect" and you will desist from publicly insulting me now.

The opinions I have formed in the past few days have now been confirmed. You are clearly delusional in thinking that you can never be wrong.

That's cheating -- the expressions for a and b have side effects. My proposal can be amended to specify that temporaries be made and side effects occur in the "expected" order:

That's the point. Expressions have side effects. They must occur in a precisely specified order; chiefly, that means you can't rearrange them and expect them to work.

z = x + y; -> t = x; u = y; z = x.plus(y); or z = y.plus(x);

That doesn't cut it. Also note that there is precise semantics as to when exceptions must be thrown and when stuff such as incrementing happens compared to that.

So, some things should happen at the same time as some other things. This is the substance of your argument that none of them should happen at all?

And you promptly ignore the expansion where I explain why that's important.
[ More aggravating paragraphs based on a faulty assumption ]

The only faulty assumptions that have been made here have been made by you. The only one being intentionally aggravating around here is you.

You said that I hate operator overloading. That is not true. Your statement was an assumption. An assumption that is not true is a faulty assumption.

To paraphrase xkcd: Logic. It works, bitch.
