No, Because, here even though the value of p is accessed twice it is used to modify two different objects p and *p. i.e. let us take the value of p as 5, the address where p is stored at 100 location. now statement *p=p will override the value 200 with 5 i.e. P location is shifted from 100 to 5.

Compiler should disallow or at the least warn you, As no types were mentioned and given you are de-referencing using *p so presuming p is a pointer, For sake of simplicity, presume p is of type int* ie: int *p; then in statement below, lhs is of type int and rhs is of type int*, you shouldn't ...

Compiler should disallow or at the least warn you, As no types were mentioned and given you are de-referencing using *p so presuming p is a pointer, For sake of simplicity, presume p is of type int* ie: int *p; then in statement below, lhs is of type int and rhs is of type int*, you shouldn't assign int* to an int. *p = p If you really want to do that (hope you understand what you are doing with your memory), then you should force typecast it to (int*), so that compiler doesn't generate a warning.
