            Bug ID: 19312
           Summary: incorrect evaluation of expression with convenience
                    variable
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: exp
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Consider this transcript:

(gdb) p $x = (void * ) 57
$3 = (void *) 0x39
(gdb) p $x
$4 = (void *) 0x39
(gdb) p $x + 7
$5 = (void *) 0x40
(gdb) p $x + 7 = 3
$6 = (void *) 0x3
(gdb) p $x
$7 = (void *) 0x3


Here, gdb somehow ignores the "+7" in the assignment and
sets $x to 3.

I would have expected a syntax error here instead.
