GOTCHA! Try these two
int function_with_some_side_effects();
other func()
{
int a,b;
b = function_with_side_effects(some_global);
a = b + function_with_side_effects(some_global);
}
---OR---
{
int a,b;
b = function_with_side_effects(some_global);
a = b ; function_with_side_effects(some_global);
}

+-- Grade A typo, if you keyboard has '+' as SHIFT ';'
(such as this keyboard, a TVI955)
Enough said.. .
