it seems that this is indeed a sequence bug in the previous version of
this code and not a compiler bug.  You can read that response for the
properly-cited wording but my TL;DR/understanding is for the given code:

struct foo bar = {
  .a = (c = 0),
  .b = c,
};

That the compiler is allowed to reorder the initializations of bar.a and
bar.b, so what the value of c here might not be what you expect.
