order of execution of tokens in a c++ source code
Please give me guidelines on how to go about writing a program which prints the order of execution of tokens in a c++ source code.
The c++ source code file will be inputed by the user, the program has to print in which order the statements will be executed..
There will be executed sequentially. What more do you want?
The order of execution is usually undefined, except as constrained by the order of operations and sequence points.
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
Tokens can't be executed; they're just tokens. Order of operations in a statement is not completely defined, as noted above. "Order of operations" for statements is normally top to bottom -- gotos would be easy to figure out, but for loops will be harder, and it may be impossible to figure out without running the program how many times a while loop (or some for loops, for that matter) will run.
In other words, we have no idea what you're actually trying to do.
If it were possible to solve that for the general case then it would probably be possible to solve the halting problem too.
