how has C bitten you?

[Ross M. Greenberg]

One that has bitten me on more occasions than I'm willing to
admit is difference in precedence operations:

Imagine transmitting a two byte checksum:

putc(highbyte, fd);
putc(lowbyte, fd);

and then reading it on the other side:

crc = (getch(fd) * 256) + getch(fd);


Different machines (compilers) do the two getch's in different orders.

I highly doubt that Time Inc.  would make me their spokesperson.
