Pop quiz!
Without cheating, I invite people to have a good guess what
'abc' is equal to, but just to narrow it down.
1) It isn't "ABC".
2) On x86/x86_64, it isn't "ACB".
3) On everything else, it's the reverse of what you'd expect
on x86/x86_64.
I'd say abc's value is "unspecified", and any attempt at
predicting it would be bogus. That's my answer anyways
The problem here is that the array operation A[] = B[] + C[]
gets transformed into an extern(C) call. And because there's
no strict rules in place over the order of which it's
parameters are evaluated, it could go either way (LTR, or RTL).
I don't see how the "extern(C)" is involved here, since it is the
D compiler that first evaluates A(), B() and C() before passing
the making the C function call. Or did I miss something?
