Thread: Syntax question: &(++x)

Hi, just a weird syntax-related question. Why can't I do this:

Code:

some_function( &(++x) );

where its passing a pointer to an already-incremented variable x? Seems to me it should be legal, but gcc complains about invalid lvalues. Any switches I can pass to make this code work? Cheers,
Yoshi


EDIT: In other words, why isn't ++x an lvalue? Two lines for one thing is so ugly :-)
