The grammar was deliberately changed at the November 1994 meeting to allow
this kind of construct.

Unfortunately, the change was never made to the working paper.

Where the grammar reads:

   assignment-expression:
      conditional-expression
      unary-expression assignment-operator assignment-expression
      throw-expression

it should read:

   assignment-expression:
      conditional-expression
      logical-or-expression assignment-operator assignment-expression
      throw-expression

as voted on by the committee.

I will forward this problem to the project editor.

Unless you hear otherwise, you can safely assume that the draft will
be corrected.

Hello c++ gurus,

According to the public draft standard following expression has
wrong syntax:
 obj.*pm = 1;
but the following right:
 (obj.*pm) = 1;
Is it right, or it's typo/misstake ?
