So ((n = 3) + (n = 4)) will warn, but ((*p = 3) + (*p = 4)) will not.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div>Maybe this kind of analysis isn't for clang, and instead is for the clang static analyser. </div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote><div>Yes, if you want to be able to catch more subtle cases, and especially cases where two different pointers may alias the same storage, that would be best handled by the Clang Static Analyzer (though I think it doesn't have any checking for unsequenced operations as yet).</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div>Thank you in advance!<br><br>Sam</div></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
