public interface StatementExpressionNode extends ExpressionNode
This represents a GNU C statement expression. Section 6.1, GNU C language reference A compound statement enclosed in parentheses may appear as an expression in GNU C. This allows you to use loops, switches, and local variables within an expression. Recall that a compound statement is a sequence of statements surrounded by braces; in this construct, parentheses go around the braces. For example: 
 ({ int y = foo (); int z; if (y > 0) z = y; else z = - y; z; })
is a valid (though slightly more complex than necessary) expression for the absolute value of foo (). The last thing in the compound statement should be an expression followed by a semicolon; the value of this subexpression serves as the value of the entire construct. (If you use some other kind of statement last within the braces, the construct has type void, and thus effectively no value.)
