From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Other terms

An "increment" is also a term for a C-shaped explosive charge which can be attached to the tail of a mortar round and givea slight increase in the distance that the round can be fired. (Usage from Marine Corps infantry)

Start a new article on that. If necessary (I don't know wheter Wikipedia will take care of this or not), create a disambiguation page. -- Rgiusti 14:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Undefined behavior

I would like to write about undefined behavior arosen with the misusage of the increment operator in large expressions, such as

i = i++;

which is amazingly common. However, I don't want to write something too specific. What do you guys think? -- Rgiusti 14:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
