I just discovered that 
  
outb (0x250, *c++);  /* doesn't work whereas */
outb (0x250, *c); c++; /* works */

I would guess (but cannot verify) that 


*c++ = inb (0x250);  /* probably works since the increment expression is 
                      * not part of the macro */

can somebody verify this for me I am pretty sure about the inb (even
though I can't test it easily), as for the outb since outb just is a macro
that puts in an inline function outbv() why does it not work?
