c++ - 不可预测的 boolean 比较 C++

Question

为什么这段代码会产生看似随机的行为，

std::cout << ( thePointerIsGood = ( NULL != (aPointer = aFunctionThatReturnsAPointer(args)) ) );

当这个做同样事情的多行版本工作正常时？

aPointer = aFunctionThatReturnsAPointer(args);
thePointerIsGood = (NULL != aPointer);
std::cout << thePointerIsGood;

我正在捕获 aPointer 和 thePointerIsGood 因为我稍后会在代码中使用它们。

以上实际上工作得很好。但是我能够用这个程序重现一些奇怪的行为，我已经标记了错误发生的地方:

// Compiled with:

    for ( i = 0

        ; i++
        )
        { // First a good pointer
          std::cout << ( ( thePointerIsGood = ( NULL != ( aPointer = AHelperClass::AFunctionThatReturnsAPointer(777) ) ) )
                       ? "Y  "
                       : "N  "
                       )  
                    << ( (thePointerIsGood == true)
                       ? "expected    "
                       : "unexpected  " 
                       )
                    ;

          if ( !thePointerIsGood )
             { std::cout << std::endl; }
          else
             { // This is where the error is, thanks to Peter for pointing it out
               std::cout << ( (theValueMatches = ((*aPointer) == 222))
                            ? "Y  "
                            : "N  "
                            )
                         << ( (theValueMatches == true)
                            ? "expected"
                            : "unexpected"
                            )
                         << std::endl
                         ;
             }


          delete aPointer;

          // Now a NULL pointer
          std::cout << ( ( thePointerIsGood = ( NULL != ( aPointer = AHelperClass::AFunctionThatReturnsAPointer(877) ) ) )
                       ? "Y  "
                       : "N  "
                       )  
                    << ( (thePointerIsGood == false)
                       ? "expected    "
                       : "unexpected  " 
                       )
                    ;

          if ( !thePointerIsGood )
             { std::cout << std::endl; }
          else
             { std::cout << ( (theValueMatches = ((*aPointer) == 222))
                            ? "Y  "
                            : "N  "
                            )
                         << ( (theValueMatches == true)
                            ? "expected"
                            : "unexpected"
                            )
                         << std::endl
                         ;
             }


          delete aPointer;
        }

    return 0;
  }

这为我产生了以下输出(一切都应该说是预期的)

Y  expected    Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  
Y  unexpected  Y  expected
N  unexpected  

Answer 1

我的想法是以下是未定义的行为:

std::cout << ( (theValueMatches = ((*aPointer) == 222))
                            ? "Y  "
                            : "N  "
                            )
                         << ( (theValueMatches == true)
                            ? "expected"
                            : "unexpected"
                            )
                         << std::endl
                         ;

因为 theValueMatches 在同一个表达式中被使用和赋值，并且没有定义赋值发生在与 true 比较之前还是之后。如果它看起来是不确定的，它确实让我感到惊讶，因为你希望编译器选择一种或另一种方法，虽然我观察到我的不是 - 我每次都从程序中得到相同的输出，有很多意想不到的在那里。
