[glox] - Add support for comma operator #4

@silverhairs

Description

@silverhairs

The comma operator is used to separate multiple expressions within a single statement. It evaluates the left operand, discards the result, evaluates the right operand, and returns the result of the right operand. It is primarily used in situations where multiple expressions need to be executed in a specific order, such as in a for loop's increment section.

Since the operators precedences for lox are more or less the same as those of C, here is a precedence table with a couple of operators used by lox arranged in descending order of precedence:

Precedence Operator Description Associativity
Highest ?: Ternary conditional Right to left
== != Equality operators Left to right
! ~ ++ -- + - Unary operators Right to left
+ - Addition, subtraction Left to right
< <= > >= Relational operators Left to right
* / % Multiplication, division, modulo Left to right
, Comma operator Left to right
