This is in the manual:

     ++ and -- operators in function calls
        Previously the ++ and {--} operators were permitted in a
        function argument list, e.g.,

              some_function (x++, x);

     Such uses are flagged as syntax errors and need to be changed to

              x++; some_function (x);
