Since I see name and shame threads ... Years and years ago I went for an interview at Computer Associates, who were still doing accounting software at the time. They gave me a test with idiotic questions about C, where the examples obviously had undefined behavior. Like what is the output of code that takes the address of a variable of type short, next to another such a variable, and then casts it to a long * pointer and retrieves the value. I had a printed copy of ISO C in my briefcase and showed them chapter and verse how that is undefined behavior. I was told I'm not "doing very well here". No hire! They just wanted people to know what the Microsoft Visual C compiler (or whatever they they were using) does with various undefined behavior, because they have such stuff in their codebase. I could have guessed "right" on most of it, but homie don't play dat.
