Re: Multiple Assignment Evaluation Debate

Any compiler that compiles p = p->next = q as storing into p

evaluated before the operator they're operands for, and
operators are evaluated before they produce a value--that's
just how C semantics work (in a C abstract machine of course).

Do you have any citations to back up your assertions?
