[Bug c++/18365] New: spurious commas?

["euclidonomy at hotmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

int main()
{
  int a = 1, b;
  a = 8, b = 9;

  return(0);
}

/*
I believe that the a = 8, b = 9 should result in an error but it does not.  I believe that the comma cannot 
be used in a non-initializing context according to the C++ Standard.

gcc -v shows:
