Hi David,

The precedence doesn't matter there, as they apply one after the other, 
right to left.

So, I'll keep casts in row 2.

Hmm, I just came up with some very stupid piece of code that can show 
the different precedence between "unary operators" and "cast operators":

sizeof(int)x;

Which I hope no-one on earth would ever want to be valid C.

If casts had the same precedence as unary operators, this would be:
First, cast x to int, then apply sizeof to the resulting int (since 
sizeof can be used without parentheses on non-types).

But since sizeof has greater precedence than the cast, it would be:
First, calculate sizeof(int), then... x?  Invalid expression!

And luckily, the second thing happens, and the compiler yells:

sizeof.c: In function ‘foo’:
sizeof.c:3:20: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘x’
     3 |  return sizeof(int)x;
       |                    ^
       |                    ;


So I think this deserves a new row.

Thanks!

Alex

Cheers,

Alex
