The following program on an NCR Tower SYS 5r3 (AT&T based) system produces
"2 and 2 are equal" when executed and lint procudes no complaints at all.
main()
{
int a, b;
a = 1;
b = 2;
if (a = b)
(void)printf("%d and %d are equal\n", a, b);
return(0);
}
I will try this program at home with my MCS 5.1 compiler with the /W3 option
and see what it says, and get back to ya.
