Comma Operator

[nair at quintus]

What should this print?

	int x, y;
	printf("%d %d\n", (x = 1, y = 2), x, y);

Shouldn't it be equivalent to:

	int a, x, y;
	a = (x = 1, y = 2);
	printf("%d %d %d\n", a, x, y);

Is there any justification in the first one printing
	2 1 0

Is there God? Why am I here? :-) :-)
