warning C6319: use of the comma-operator in a tested expression causes the left argument to be ignored when it has no side-effects

This warning indicates an ignored sub-expression in test context because of the comma-operator (,). The comma operator has left-to-right associativity. The result of the comma-operator is the last expression evaluated. If the left expression to comma-operator has no side effects, the compiler might omit code generation for the expression.

Example

The following code generates this warning:

void f()  
{  
  int i;  
  int x[10];  
  
  // code   
  for ( i = 0; x[i] != 0, x[i] < 42; i++)  // warning  
  {  
    // code  
  }  
}  

To correct this warning, use the logical AND operator as shown in the following code:

void f()  
{  
  int i;  
  int x[10];  
  
  // code   
  
  for ( i = 0; (x[i] != 0) && (x[i] < 42); i++)   
  {  
    // code  
  }  
}
