/*
  Why the first swap operation works as expected but
  it does not happen the same with the second one ?
  I guess that it can be due operations within temp values,
  but IMHO swap operation should work in both cases.

  Thanks !

void swap(int *a, int *b) {
    *a ^= *b ^= *a ^= *b;
}

int main() {
    int a = 5;
    int b = 8;
    printf("%d, %d\n", a, b);
    a ^= b ^= a ^= b;
    printf("%d, %d\n", a, b);
    swap(&a, &b);
    printf("%d, %d\n", a, b);
