RE: 407 assignment operators
I have been looking at removing the "shift-reduce conflicts" from the
grammar for the language accepted by the 407 expression evaluator.
The reason for the conflicts is that an assignment is treated like a
term that you can then perform other calculations on. For example,
this is valid syntax for the 407.
spec ... if -#0:=...
But such an expression is not valid C; were the 407 to become more
"C-aligned", the expression would have to change so that the left-hand
side of the assignment is a proper "l-value", which for a 407 means a
counter.
spec ... if -(#0:=...)
I'm toying with the idea of introducing a nuisance message for this
condition. I also want to issue the message about the lack of side
effect in this:
spec ... set #0=17
Comments? Thoughts?
