Complete Modern C++ - Expression Evaluation Order

The video tutorial discusses the unpredictability of function parameter evaluation in C++ prior to C-17, where subexpressions could be interleaved, leading to potential issues such as memory leaks. It explains how C-17 addresses these issues by prohibiting interleaving between subexpressions, ensuring a more predictable evaluation order. The tutorial includes a code example to demonstrate the differences in evaluation order between C-14 and C-17, highlighting the improvements made in C-17. The video concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
