Subj : Value of Assignment Expression...

Hello all,

The testers in my team are complaining that the following test
case fails:

var b=8;
var c, r ;
var a=2;

r = delete(c=a + b);

document.write("<br>" + c + "<br>");

The trouble seems to be that the value of c after delete
statement is "undefined" when they expect it to be 10. For once,
I have to agree with them, since the standard says that when
evaluating expr. c = a + b, c should get the value of 10(=a + b) and
delete should also receive the value of right hand operand ie. 10.

If I split the delete statement into 2, as follows, everything
seems work fine.

c = a + b;
r = delete(c);

So, is this a bug? I am using JS1.5  RC6a release of Jun '04.
Thanks,
Milind
