Does this problem pertain to properties?
Look at this:

void main()
{
  int a=3;
}

Is "a" assigned usefully or uselessly? And what compiler says about it? And how 
did you determine that your example is useless? Did you check for destructors, 
invariants, copy constructors?

And do your question imply that functions are allowed to return temporaries 
while properties aren't?

And what's the difference if c is field or property?
