Description chuchunxin 2000-11-09 15:16:01 UTC 
x = 2;
x *= x++;

what is the value of x? 

It should be 5, but in the workstation I can only get 3.

Release:
2.8.1

Environment:
sun solaris 2.6

How-To-Repeat:
Just do a calculation on the above expression

Fix:
Not a bug; it is undefined behaviour.

    Exactly!  You might want to use x *= x or x = x * x + 1
    depending upon what you're trying to do.
