[Bug c/25151] New: GCC issues warnings to a syntactically correct expression.

[mishabear at gmail dot com]

Put the following code in a file tt.c and compile tt.c with command "gcc -Wall
tt.c", then the compiler will complain.

int main()
{
        void *pv;

        pv = (pv=0);
        return 0;
}

The compiler complains:
tt.c: In function `main':
tt.c:5: warning: operation on `pv' may be undefined

The result of "gcc --version" is:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-52)

The result of "uname -a" is:

x86_64 GNU/Linux

In fact the type of pv has no matter with the warning. The warning will still
show up if the type of pv is changed to int, short or double.
