What's with the double semi-colons?
Because dereferencing p has undefined behavior, a conforming
implementation of C can do anything it wants with this code. However, in
particular, it need not pay any attention to the fact that p and q point
at the same location. It could therefore rearrange the order of the
previous two lines, which would produce unexpected results on the
following line:

It can work; but it's not required to work - which is the point.
