Nope.  Really not.  There is no guarantee at all that the compiler will
call func1 first - the only guarantee is that both functions will have
been called before the add takes place :-)

Nope, not undefined.  a is evaluated, and passed to the function when it
is called, and then is incremented.  This *is* guaranteed.
