Since set x
is just a method, it should presumably do the same thing as exp1?.x(exp2)
with regards to whether exp2
is evaluated or not. I'm not sure what that same thing is, though.

Current spec says:
Evaluation of an assignment a of the form e1?.v = e2 is equivalent to the evaluation of the expression ((x) => x == null?null : x.v = e2)(e1). The static type of a is the static type of e2. Let T be the static type of e1 and let y be a fresh variable of type T. Exactly the same static warnings that would be
caused by y.v = e2 are also generated in the case of e1?.v = e2.
In other words, e2 is not evaluated if e1 is null. This is consistent with our treatment of method arguments in general. Basically, if the target is null, nothing happens. Very similar to writing
(a = e1) != null ? a.x = e2 : null
which is presumably what you would have had to write before this worthy construct was introduced.
