Hard to say how to rewrite the expression without seeing the source code and expression

Johan has posted the code that was causing problems. It was like that:

code:

---

  if (n + d6() < m + d6())

---

and different compilers evaluated left and right subexpressions in a different order.

There was some thread a while ago, where programming contest was suggested. Now we have a good problem:

- how to make the expression produce consistent results (independent on compiler), according to the specified order of function d6 invocation (from left to right or from right to left)?
- can it be done without modifying the expression?
