Library /sys$common/syshlp/dbg$help.hlb DEBUG, Language Support, CC, Operators in Language Expressions  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Supported C operators in language expressions include:

    Kind    Symbol  Function

    Prefix  *       Indirection
    Prefix  &       Address of
    Prefix  sizeof  size of
    Infix   +       Addition
    Infix   *       Multiplication
    Infix   /       Division
    Infix   %       Remainder
    Infix   <<      Left shift
    Infix   >>      Right shift
    Infix   ==      Equal to
    Infix   !=      Not equal to
    Infix   >       Greater than
    Infix   >=      Greater than or equal to
    Infix   <       Less than
    Infix   <=      Less than or equal to
    Prefix  ~       Bit-wise NOT
            (tilde)
    Infix   &       Bit-wise AND
    Infix   |       Bit-wise OR
    Infix   ^       Bit-wise exclusive OR
    Prefix  !       Logical NOT
    Infix   &&      Logical AND
    Infix   ||      Logical OR

    Because the exclamation point (!)  is an operator in C, it cannot
    be used as the comment delimiter. When the language is set to
    C, the debugger instead accepts /* as the comment delimiter. The
    comment continues to the end of the current line. (A matching */
    is neither needed nor recognized.) To permit debugger log files
    to be used as debugger input, the debugger still recognizes an
    exclamation point (!)  as a comment delimiter if it is the first
    nonspace character on a line.

    The debugger accepts the prefix asterisk (*)  as an indirection
    operator in both C language expressions and debugger address
    expressions. In address expressions, prefix "*" is synonymous to
    prefix "." or "@" when the language is set to C.

    The debugger does not support any of the assignment operators
    in C (or any other language) in order to prevent unintended
    modifications to the program being debugged. Hence such operators
    as =, +=, ++, and -- are not recognized. To alter the contents of
    a memory location, you must use an explicit DEPOSIT command.
