Which is solved by saying that the expression is only evaluated once. The user doesn't need to know the detail that the value is kept in a temporary register, because that statement by itself is utterly useless for the user, as on load/store architectures like ARM you /always/ have values in registers if they are worked with and the compiler will happily spill around the contents if necessary.
