Assignment Expressions

• Assignment in an if statement:
  if ((p = q))
      q[-1] = '\n';
  
• Avoided with explicit comparison:
      if ((p = strchr(name, '=')) != NULL) {
          p++;
  
• Made explicit with a non-modifiable lvalue:
      if (0 == serconsole)
          serconsinit = 0;
  
• In Java and C# the above matter only for boolean expressions
