[Bug c/36708] New: syntatic warning


I think this code is syntactically correct, but can cause problems in
debugging. If you don't scrutinize the code too carefully you can waste time
here - code was a cut and paste from strcpy to integer assignment with
resultant comma not changed to assignment.

 // this code does nothing !
 f -> font_size, current_font_size;

 // this code does something
 f -> font_size= current_font_size;

should this produce a warning like "statement does nothing" ? its like an
unused variable warning, it is a courtesy thing..
