Wow, this was an eye-opening read on my trust with ISO C.
It makes much more understandable why linux codebase is riddled with compiler extensions, ISO C is simply not reliable anymore.
The issue is bigger than what trembles on the surface, just like Dennis Ritchie said, it is a timebomb, soon enough these nuances will burst into a big issue in linux kernel, or worse yet, some essential system like avionics.
