Quote: On page 9 of the standard, footnote 7 says: "Note that some aspects of sequencing in the abstract machine are unspecified; the preceding restriction upon side effects applies to that particular execution sequence in which the actual code is generated." I don't understand this sentence, could anyone illuminate me? Thanks. Andrei Could it be a typo? Taken in context with the text in which the footnote is referenced it looks like this would make more sense if it read: "... particular execution sequence in the actual code which is generated."
