This patch has many bogus corrections where new variables were created, but the order of evaluation is already unambiguous.
For example each comma separated clause in an expression is guaranteed to be completely evaluated before the next comma separated clause Including Assignments.
It seems as if about half of the patched code simply makes it easier for the inexperienced C programmer to understand without actually fixing linguistic ambiguities, and at the same time introducing new variables which will clutter up the registers and the cache lines. Please don't apply this patch without consideration.
