So the earliest C compilers were under 5000 lines of C+asm:

If you want a minimal "standard committee approved" C89 compiler then David Hanson's lcc and Fabrice Bellard's tcc both come out to over 30,000 lines. To understand C89 fully you at a minimum have to read a ~220 page (14,248 line) copy of the (draft) ANSI standard:
http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c89/c89-draft.txt
I don't know what the smallest C23 compiler would be with all the new features since C89 added, but it's at the point where a single human can't implement a C compiler anymore. It's becoming a language only rich corporations have the wealth and power to implement and steer.
In A simple defer feature for CFor those who wonder, the extract comes from https://github.com/mortdeus/legacy-cc/blob/ccbe90a2803e2cc7e...
IMO, it is close to Assembly:
* you reserve space and possibly set an original value with "hshsiz DB 100" or "paraml DB ?"
* assignment is a different business which involves a runtime instruction (MOV)
Hence the same difference (no = sign for the first, passive, compile-time operation; an = sign for the second, active, runtime operation) in this proto-C.
(Of course, this doesn't answer your question of "when" did the syntax of those 2 operation fuse :-) )
