You're apparently interested in how GCC handles increment operators
within expressions that have other uses of the lvalue being incremented.
Undefined behavior is not compiler-dependent, and GCC has no rules,
documented or otherwise, about what happens in this case.  The behavior
of the program can differ depending on optimizations, or can change from
one GCC release to another for the same set of optimizations.  The same
is true of any other compiler, for any kind of undefined behavior.
