    I think DrYap has it right.

    x = + + a + + + a + + + 5; 
    

    is the same as:

    x = + (+ a) + (+ (+ a)) + (+ (+ 5));
    

    The key points here are:

    1) c, c++ don’t have + as a postfix operator, so we know we have to interpret it as a prefix

    2) monadic + binds more tightly (is higher precedence) than dyadic +

    Funny isn’t it ? If these were – signs it wouldn’t look so strange. Monadic +/- is just a leading sign, or to put it another way, “+x” is the same as “0+x”.
