Any thoughts?Not about PUSH_ARGS_REVERSED targets, but my two-penn'orth: The proposal seems to be a bit of a minefield. This one: a(b, c, d) is a bit counter-intuitive. I wouldn't expect a to be evaluated before the arg list. I wonder how many C++ programmers would.The motivating example in the paper suggests that many C++ programmers expect a left to right order of evaluation here due to the commonality of constructs like chains of calls.
Yes, although chains of calls like var.fn1(args1).fn2(args2)are covered by the "a.b" bullet. The above bullet would be more relevant to a chain like
fn1(args1)(args2) or [captures]{...}(args) Jason
