Post author here, and yes this ^ is precisely what it's intended to mean. There are also other more exotic flavors of behavior, and the post isn't about those either.
I tried to cover as much ground in the post as possible, but the post is already a 10min read and covering unspecified / impl-defined behavior would have made it a 20min read instead :)
- Karellen 4y agoI did get that eventually, but I missed the side-note in my first read through, and it was lumping two concepts together under the name of one of them that I found confusing. If, in your description of the three buckets, you called the middle one something else like "Platform-dependent behaviour" or whatever, I think that would have been less weird. You'd still only need one short paragraph to say it's compiler/OS/hardware dependent, covers implementation-defined and unspecified, and is not the focus of the article.
