	The accepted definition of C as I have seen in all versions of the
C compiler is that in assignment ops, as in assignments; the right side
is converted to the type of the left side before the op is done.  This makes
sense since assignment ops are treated the same as regular assignments.  This
is what the C reference manual means to say.
