I get this with complex expressions involving indexed arrays.  Now I usually 
evaluate the index in a separate statement using a temporary variable and 
let the optimiser do its bit to improve it (which it usually does).

  For example:

      j = whatever->arradr[(whatever->idx++)*4];

  Gets translated to

      i = (whatever->idx++) * 4;
      j = whatever->arradr[i];
