An lvalue is just what it says it is. The left side of an assignment
statement. Sometimes it happens when the variable has the same name as a
defined macro. This happens quite a bit with simple, case-insensitive
compilers, or when you have long variable names that are internally
truncated making it non-ambiguous.
