 do { /* ... */ } while (foo(), x = y);

The same result can be obtained using the for statement, which is specifically designed to evaluate an expression on each iteration of the loop, just before performing the test in its controlling expression:

 for (; x; foo(), x = y) { /* ... */ }

do { /* ... */ } while (foo(), (x = y) != 0);

Compliant Solution (for statement)

The same result can be obtained using the for statement, which is specifically designed to evaluate an expression on each iteration of the loop, just before performing the test in its controlling expression. Remember that its controlling expression is the second operand, where the assignment occurs in its third operand:

 for (; x; foo(), x = y) { /* ... */ }
