-/* Force the (direct) sub-operands of NODE to be evaluated in left-to-right
-   order, as specified by Java Language Specification.
-
-   The problem is that while expand_expr will evaluate its sub-operands in
-   left-to-right order, for variables it will just return an rtx (i.e.
-   an lvalue) for the variable (rather than an rvalue).  So it is possible
-   that a later sub-operand will change the register, and when the
-   actual operation is done, it will use the new value, when it should
-   have used the original value.
-
-   We fix this by using save_expr.  This forces the sub-operand to be
-   copied into a fresh virtual register,
-
-   For method invocation, we modify the arguments so that a
-   left-to-right order evaluation is performed. Saved expressions
-   will, in CALL_EXPR order, be reused when the call will be expanded.
-
-   We also promote outgoing args if needed.  */
