associativity

[Mantorok Redgormor]

Which section(s) in the standard describe associativity rules?

e.g., *ptr++

* and ++ are the same precedence wise and as such
will be evaluated left-to-right?

Precedence and associativity are implicit in the C grammar, which
is scattered through section 6.5 "Expressions" (in C99). You can
also find the grammar rules gathered together (non-normatively)
in Annex A.

While you are correct that * and ++ have the same precedence, the
associate right to left so the expression will be parsed as *(ptr++)
and not as (*ptr)++.
