The use of increment and decrement operators in combination with other arithmetic operators is not recommended, because:
It can significantly impair the readability of the code.
It introduces additional side effects into a statement, with the potential for undefined behavior.
It is safer to use these operators in isolation from any other arithmetic operators.
u8a = ++u8b + u8c--; foo = bar++ / 4;
The following sequence is clearer and therefore safer:
++u8b; u8a = u8b + u8c; u8c--; foo = bar / 4; bar++;
