But I guess you just don't want to understand what I write.

That is exactly how I feel.

Look. Whether you make the decision in your head before you write the expression, or whether you write the expression and then decide, at some point the decision--whether the expression will have an execution order dependancy--has to be made.

You have continually stated that you don't write such expressions--which means that you must know how to decide if an expression you are about to write will have an EOD, so that you can decide not to write it. On what criteria do you base that decision?

I've been asking you, challenging you and cajoling to detail those criteria so that I, and anyone else that has bothered to follow this deep, can learn from your knowledge.

If your criteria are so infallible, then why not simply share them with the rest of us?

You keep saying "Don't do that". And I keep asking, "How do I avoid doing that"? You simply ignore this plea for further information.

I'm sorry that I have changed your opinion of my intelligence for the worse--though I doubt my IQ has changed, so maybe it's just your interpretation of it that has, and that's entirely in your control, not mine--but I think if you re-read this thread, you'll see that the misunderstanding is yours, not mine.
