[Bug c/51834] New: -Wsequence-point fails when convoluted expressions with multiple side effects are used


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51834

             Bug #: 51834
           Summary: -Wsequence-point fails when convoluted expressions
                    with multiple side effects are used
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.4.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: prasoonsaurav.nit@gmail.com


Consider the following example


int main()
{ 
      int i=10;
      i += (i , i++, i) + i; // also invokes UB
}


prasoon@Prasoon:~/test_code$ cat ub.c
int main()
{ 
      int i=10;
      i += (i , i++, i) + i; // also invokes UB
}
prasoon@Prasoon:~/test_code$ gcc -Wsequence-point ub.c
prasoon@Prasoon:~/test_code$ 

I don't get any warning like 'operation on 'i' may be undefined.

Another similar example

int main()
{
    char *str;
    char array[100]= "Hello";
    if((str = array)[0] == 'H'){
         //do something
    }
}

As per my understanding (str = array)[0] also invokes UB but no warning is
given by gcc even after using that option.
