I believe the standard is clear that each initializer expression in the
above is a full-expression (1.9 intro.execution/12-13; see also issue
392) and therefore there is a sequence point after each expression
(1.9  intro.execution/16). I agree that the standard does not seem to
dictate the order in which the expressions are evaluated, and perhaps
it should.

Does anyone know of a compiler that would not evaluate the expressions
left to right?

Steve,

  Actually there is one, that does not do left to right: gcc/C++.

  None of the post increment operations take effect until after the 
statement finishes.  So in the sample code gcc stores 23 into all 
positions in the array.

  The commercial vendor C++ compilers for AIX, Solaris, Tru64, HPUX
(parisc and ia64), and Windows, all do sequence points at each ','
in the initializer list.

  So I opened a bug report against gcc (#11633, link to bug below).

  Unfortunately if the C++ standard does not say one way or the other 
then gcc/C++ is unlikely to change.

The DR report is 430: <http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#430>.
