I think the following real-world code is a good argument against comma
operators:
template <typename T>
Q_INLINE_TEMPLATE void QList<T>::node_destruct(Node *from, Node *to)
{
if (QTypeInfo<T>::isLarge || QTypeInfo<T>::isStatic)
while(from != to) --to, delete reinterpret_cast<T*>(to->v);
else if (QTypeInfo<T>::isComplex)
while (from != to) --to, reinterpret_cast<T*>(to)->~T();
}
