Hmmm...

I did some playing around, and it appears different compilers treat the a = b = c case rather differently than I expected. Some *do* in fact read 'b' after writing it (which just seems crazy to me).

I've asked our compiler optimizer lead developer at work his take on this topic.

In the meantime, allow me to throw a mea culpa out there and then I'll shut up. :-)
