There's no such standard concept as a C++ front end. The language does not define nor proposes any convention for a conversion of C++ to C. There are already a number of constructs in C++ that are DIFFERENT from how they are implemented in C++. The answer here is that C++ leaves the behavior undefined for the same reason C does, the supposed advantage to prescribing an ordered behavior doesn't override efficiency concerns. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
