#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int a;

  int *j = &(a = 0);
  // Error: lvalue expected

  *j = 1;
  printf("%d\n", a);

  (a = 2) = 3;
  // Error: lvalue expected
  printf("%d\n", a);


  return 0;
}


See 5.17 Assignment operators [expr.ass]: "... the result is an lvalue."

BTW, this one is low priority.
