Error in the EVAL Statement?

 >> Yes, it is valid.  The first + is the "continuation indicator"

I'm sorry but you are incorrect.  There is no such thing as continuation
characters in C specs other than to continue a literal.

In the example given as Jim has pointed out - the compiler treats it as
indicating a positive literal.  It will apparently also work this way with a
variable name.  If however you code 3 + signs in a row you'll see an error.
Note that because spaces are not significant in expressions the + and the
literal/variable can be separated by a space/
