           Summary: gmcs and visual c# compiler behave differently on

Description of Problem:
The = operator has priority over ?? operator with the mono C# compiler whereas
with the ms visual C# compiler it has not. 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Put this code into a cs source file.

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static int Main()
    {
        int? foo = null;
        int foo2 = 2;
        Console.WriteLine(foo ?? foo2 = 3);

        return 0;
    }
}

2. Compile without flags with gmcs (version 1.2.4.0 and  1.9.1.0) and csc 
( version 8.00.50727.1433 and  version 3.5.21022.8)


Actual Results:
With gmcs : The file compile with 1 warning
With csc : The compilation abort with the error 
"c:\Users\Nevor\Projects\Testes\priority.cs(9,27): error CS0131: The left-hand
side of an assignment must be a variable, property or indexer"

Expected Results:
gmcs abort compilation with the same error.

How often does this happen? 
always
