C语言的赋值表达式返回右值

C是支持连续赋值的，最近一个学弟在做编译原理实验的时候构造了这样一个测试样例：

(j=2) = j+j;

他告诉我gcc报错告诉他左边需要一个左值；而MSVC则让他编译通过了。他问我怎么看，我的直觉告诉我赋值语句的返回值应该是一个右值，然后查了一下C99标准：

An assignment operator stores a value in the object designated by the left operand. An assignment expression has the value of the left operand after the assignment, but is not an lvalue. The type of an assignment expression is the type of the left operand unless the left operand has qualified type, in which case it is the unqualified version of the type of the left operand. The side effect of updating the stored value of the left operand shall occur between the previous and the next sequence point.

所以gcc在这个地方按照标准做事了，而M$则没有，如果你向上面那样写，等价于

j=j+j;
