C Evaluation

[Sylvain Cote]

Try Compiler Explorer, it support several languages, compilers and targets.
When you are not sure on how the C code get translated into assembly, Compiler Explorer will show you.

I am curious, what compilers did you used ?

I have tried several C compilers and they all gave me this output:

Code:

reached f1
reached f2
2

I have modified you main function to follow the standard

Code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    short x;
    x = f1() * f2();
    printf("%d\n",x);
    return 0;
}
