Maybe I've forgotten more C than I'd like to admit, while (--argc > 0 && (*++argv)[0] == '-') ... Notice that the decrement always occurs before the ‘>’ is evaluated. This would be true even if it were postfix (i.e., argc-- > 0). but isn't the last statement ("This would be true even if...") in error? IIRC a post-decrement would occur after the ‘>’ is evaluated. edit: clarity
