In that case, you are dealing with the comma operator which does contain
a sequence point and which is lower in precedence than the assignment
operator.  Other sequence points that can occur in expressions come with
the '?', '&&', and '||' operators as well as function calls.

There is a draft of the C99 standard (dated late 98) publicly available
at http://wwwold.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/open/n2794/ in both txt and pdf.
