>Description:
Let's consider the following code:

int main() {
	int a = 1;
	int b;

	b = a++ + a;
	printf("%i\n", b);
	return 0;
}

this prints "2" with GCC, whereas it prints "3" with CodeWarrior and Lcc.
Hint: I saw that in the assembler output the incrementation statement occurs AFTER the addition one.

Just compile it! "gcc bug.c -o bug"

Dunno. Not a gcc expert!
