Is this how it is always done?

Say we have a, b, and c all ints.

a=b=c=0;

Is this always:				Or would someone really implement as:
c=0;					a=0;
b=0;					b=0;
a=0;					c=0;
?					?

I ran some test with TC++ 1.0 and feel confident that it is done
the "always" way rather than the "other" way.

How about from the compiler writers point of view....is there a
difference?

Linked lists come to mind....without knowing for sure, do I say:

l=l->l_next=new l_list('a',l);			// Just an example

or do I say:

l->l_next=l=new l_list('a',l);

I know the safe method:		l->l_next=new l_list('a',l);
				l=l->l_next;

Should work no matter, but..........isn't there a standard?
