@slomo@toot.cat The reason for this and a lot of other of C's wacky behaviours is that it has to be able to produce efficient code for any of a wide variety of weird hardware. The $0.06 microcontroller or $2 DSP that massively benefit from one order over the other may both need to run the same library. (There's probably a good use case for a standardized subset of C for boring computers that standardizes this kind of stuff.)
