It violates the rule about "Between the previous and next sequence point
an object shall have its stored value modified at most once by the
evaluation of an expression."  ISO 9899:1999 section 6.5 paragraph 1.
You are trying to store something into "va" more than once.

This is the same rule that makes {i = ++i;} illegal.
