Thank you for detailed explanation. > Modern languages like Java or Swift just give this well defined semantics and call it a day because this isn’t a good hill to die on. Fucking up the language isn’t worth 0.3% on some stupid benchmark, period. I saw some projects just opt to use -fwrapv as a gcc option. clang I think has the same one too now. The docs for gcc mentions [1] "This flag enables some optimizations and disables others" [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html
