.SS EXPRESSIONS
Systemtap supports a number of operators that have the same general syntax,
semantics, and precedence as in C and awk. Arithmetic is performed as per
-C rules. Division by zero is detected and results in an error.
+typical C rules for signed integers. No short-circuiting is performed
