So, this is a request for a warning for assignments that are obviously useless (thus maybe a typo in the code or old code that could be removed...). It should cover variables set but not used outside the full expression where they are set. The code int foo (void) { int a, b; a = b = 0; return a; } gives an example. It could be written: int foo (void) { int a; a = 0; return a; } "a = b = ...;" is generally used as a shortcut for "a = ...; b = ...;", and if it isn't (because the behavior would be different at compile time or at run time), there should be a warning against this construct.
