I have no trouble with it, but I've seen other people have trouble. And
of course, it gets particularly tricky with regard to a few special cases:

primary-expression:
( expression )

generic-selection:
_Generic ( assignment-expression , generic-assoc-list )

postfix-expression:
postfix-expression [ expression ]

conditional-expression:
logical-OR-expression ? expression : conditional-expression

Here since the right hand side is flanked by terminal symbols, and no
other grammar symbols, there is no precedence issue to be seen.
No operator occurs outside of the expression.

> postfix-expression:
> postfix-expression [ expression ]

This is at tricky case where we have to understand that the left
recursion in the grammar gives us left associativity:

            postfix
            /   \
        postfix  [ expr ]
        /   \
    postfix  [ expr ]

so that a[0][0][0] means ((a[0])[1])[0]

> conditional-expression:
> logical-OR-expression ? expression : conditional-expression

The intuition is that the ? : nonterminals act as parentheses
around the inner expression, shielding it from issues of
precedence relative to the other expressions.

Assuming the syntax is good, we can determine what part of the
input comprises the inner "expression" just by finding the closing :
which matches the opening ?, whereby we count balancing parentheses
and ? : pairs.

The pieces outside ? : are units: a logical-OR-expression will not
fragment into pieces, one of which binds to ?: so we know
that the OR operator has higher precedence.

Wasn’t BNF covered in one of your undergraduate CS courses? Didn’t you 
practise it by reading the grammar of some unfamiliar (maybe made-up) 
languages? So the fact that a “postfix-expression” occurs within a “unary-
expression”, and not the other way around (not without intervening 
parentheses, anyway), should indicate that postfix operators bind more 
tightly than prefix ones.

No. I'm mostly self-taught in computer programming. My degree was in
Physics, not CS. I took a few CS courses, but not many. I had planned to
be a scientist who could write his own data analysis and simulation
programs. I ended up with a career writing scientific computer programs
rather than coming up with new scientific theories of my own. I was
always very good at understanding scientific theories, but I lacked the
imagination needed to come up with new ones.

However, despite lacking a CS background, as I've already said, I have
no trouble figuring out precedence levels by examining the grammar. My
point was that I've talked with many people who found it less obvious
than you or I do.

Let me ask, which areas give people the most trouble, or where do
they find that they need help remembering?  My reason for asking is
I myself find most of C's expression syntax behaves the way I expect
without having to think about it, so I need relatively few memory
aids to feel confident in knowing the whole stack.  But what are the
stumbling blocks for other folks?

I like to intuitively think of binary operators as belonging to three 
groups:

   (1) Within expressions (arithmetic, but also bitwise ops)

   (2) Comparisons (with one precedence level)

   (3) Logical and/or (only 2 precedence levels)

All (1) have higher precendence than (2), which are higher than (3). (In 
my code, groups (2) and (3) mostly occur in conditional expressions such 
as 'f (expr)'.)

C mixes up some operators between (1) and (2), that's one thing.
For example, ^ is bizarrely lower precedence than ==.

Even within the same group (1), I think of << and >> as scaling 
operators of the same rank as * and /, since they really do the same job 
(any shift can be implemented with multiple or divide by a power of two).

Yet C puts the precedence of << and >> the other side of + and -. This 
means that:

    1 << 2 + 3

is 1<<(2+3) or 32, not (1<<2)+3 or 7.

Another one is ?: as in:

      a ? b ? c : d : e     // or:
      a ? b : c ? d : e

With more complex terms, it's easy to get lost. Although this one is not 
so much about precedence; I wouldn't class it as an operator all, and 
would insist on parentheses so that the boundaries of this 3-way 
construct are absolutely clear.

With parentheses, I /believe/ the correct grouping that corrresponds is 
repectively:

      (a ? (b ? c : d) : e)
      (a ? b : (c ? d : e))

Now I can change 'I believe' to 'I know'.

Remember this is not just about working with C. People may work on 
different languages with their own rules.

`2 + 3 * 4` is near-universally evaluated as 14. With `1 << 2 + 3` most 
languages I managed to try on rextester.com (which supported infix 
`<<`), also gave C's result of 32.

This means a lot of languages that have perpetuated C's bad choices.

A few languages however did not just blindly follow C, such as Pascal, 
Go and Swift; those gave a result of 7.

"Within expressions" is an odd way to describe it, since all operators
are within expressions.

I explained what I mean in the brackets, which is that of arithmetic 
expressions like a*(b+c[i])-1.

Ones that also include comparisons or logical are rare in most contexts, 
and mainly occur in conditionals:

     if (a == b)
     while (c > 0 && d > 0)

Some languages may not even allow groups (2) and (3) outside of such 
conditionals.

That means that in most non-conditional expressions, there would only 
have been group (1) precedences to worry about. Although in C, that 
still means 6 levels; I make do with 2 elsewhere.

6 for C is just too much. Why not have each operator have its own 
private precedence? 18 levels is not much harder to remember than 10! 
And about as useful.

Yes, this is an ancient mistake that was acknowledged by D. Ritchie
decades ago.

It's an unfortunate thing that is hard to change.

The most harm that came out of it is, I think, not the programming
bugs, but the endless debate.

It's not impossible to change. Basically first we would have to
mark the current precedence deprecated, and require a diagnostic
for programw which rely on it.

For instance the expression a == b & c == d would require a diagnostic,
similar to the optional one can obtain get anyway from some popular
compilers.

Then, after a long period of obsolescence and diagnosis, perhaps 25
years or more, new rules could be put in. a == b & c == d would not
longer require a diagnostic, but silently parse as (a == (b & c)) == d.

IMO, it would have been a good idea had ANSI C 89 taken the above
obsolescence step. By C11, if not C99, we could have been rid of the
precedence infelicities.

The problem with requiring a diagnostic is that the standard doesn't
distinguish errors and warnings. A program which requires a diagnostic
is erroneous. If it is translated and executed anyway, its behavior is
undefined.

You can't say that a == b & c == d is correct, and parses as (a == b ) &
(c == d), while at the same time demanding a diagnostic.  That's
contradictory: if it requires a diagnostic, it is incorrect.

The standard would have to sharpen its knife and introduce the concept
of informational diagnostics which don't indicate an incorrect
situation, but only some deprecated situation.

C23 adds the #warning preprocessor directive.  It "causes the
implementation to produce a diagnostic message that includes the
specified sequence of preprocessing tokens", but allows the translation

Another way is to introduce new versions of & | ^ operators with revised 
precedences. (But you can't use the names in iso646.h.)

After a while, those original operators can be deprecated, then banned. 
When there is no more code using & | ^, they can be introduced as 
synonyms for the new operators.

But that only fixes part of it.

I would also quite like to see chained comparisons like a == b == c. 
That is valid code now, but doen't anything that useful. You want it to 
mean (a == b) && (b == c) while only evaluating b once.

That I agree is bizarre. Python quietly rearranges things, and I don’t 
think many C programmers have noticed.

This seems to work reasonably well, even in complex cases, e.g.

    *resultptr++ =
            alpha << 24
        |
            (b << 3 | (b & 0xE0) >> 5) * alpha / 255 << 16
        |
            (g << 2 | (g & 0xC0) >> 6) * alpha / 255 << 8
        |
            (r << 3 | (r & 0xE0) >> 5) * alpha / 255;

Indentation works, too:

    final PointF ThisMouse =
        ThisMouse1 != null ?
            ThisMouse2 != null ?
                new PointF
                  (
                    (ThisMouse1.x + ThisMouse2.x) / 2.0f,
                    (ThisMouse1.y + ThisMouse2.y) / 2.0f
                  )
            :
                ThisMouse1
        :
            ThisMouse2;

OK, that’s Java code, but you get the idea.

You're using | instead of +; their precedences are each the other side 
of <<, at least in C.

Something else I do elsewhere is to have the same precedence for + and 
|, since the is no real reason to have them different. And even if there 
was, who'd be able to remember which was which?

Myriad precedence sounds a good idea on paper - after all they're free! 
But usually impractical.

But you wouldn't write that would you? Operators such as ?: are best 
used within one line to keep things compact.

As soon as you span multiple lines, you might as well use regular 
if-else statements.

Now, standard C doesn't allow regular `if` to return values, so you'd 
have to take the assignments inside.

(My language does allow that, but I would do the same.)

Of course; that seems the natural one to use, when concatenating bit 
fields.

So why didn't you use 'if' and 'else'? Because 'if' couldn't be used on 
the right side of an assignment?

I would call that a language failing, except I don't agree with having a 
multi-line RHS to an assignment anyway, unless lines overflow. Getting 
around that failing by abusing the ?: syntax I think compounds the problem.

Those dozen lines of code correspond to an assignment that looks like this:

	A := (B | (C | (B.X+C.X, B.Y+C.Y)/2 | B | C)

(In the syntax of my 1990s scripting language.)

In Java, I would write it like this, if {} blocks are optional:

     PointF ThisMouse;

     if (ThisMouse1)
         if (ThisMouse2)
              ThisMouse = PointF((ThisMouse1.x + ThisMouse2.x)/2,
                                 (ThisMouse1.y + ThisMouse2.y)/2);
         else
              ThisMouse = ThisMouse1;
     else
         ThisMouse = ThisMouse2;

I agree that this is strange.  I suspect it was the result of the 
historical split of the logical and bitwise operators - it makes sense 
to have logical operators as lower than equality, and bitwise operators 
presumably stayed there after the split instead of being moved up.

I agree on that too (with the caveat that signed division by powers of 
two is not just a shift in C - and that's another decision that could 
certainly be questioned).

That is more about associativity than precedence.  There is no way the 
expressions could mean anything else - if the associativity were 
difference, chaining like your first case would have to be a syntax 
error, and for the second case it would mean the same anyway.

Yes, I agree again.  (I think this may be a record?)  Again, parentheses 
and splitting up expressions into parts is the way to keep sane and safe.

Same for me.  The trick to getting the signs of sins right is to think

I haven't got to the bitwise operators yet!
