The operand of prefix ++ or -- shall not be of type cv bool[.](#1.sentence-1)

An operand with volatile-qualified type is deprecated;
see [[depr.volatile.type]](depr.volatile.type "D.4 Deprecated volatile types")[.](#1.sentence-2)

The expression ++x is otherwise equivalent to x+=1 and
the expression --x is otherwise equivalent to x-=1 ([[expr.assign]](expr.assign "7.6.19 Assignment and compound assignment operators"))[.](#1.sentence-3)

[*Note [1](#note-1)*:

For postfix increment and decrement, see [[expr.post.incr]](expr.post.incr "7.6.1.6 Increment and decrement")[.](#1.sentence-4)
