Thanks for the link, which means I can now post two links each time! I agree 100% with your post, pretty much. I even like to quote that very quotation from the C standard myself, with that very same passage italicised. Rightly so, as I see it, because it's the money quote. (See, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7328982 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7328982) It's not even clear - to me at least - that this stuff is of any use. Every example I've seen takes code that probably won't work as intended and silently turns it into something else that doesn't work as intended, only in some unexpected way. Dear compiler authors - god damn it. Knock that shit off. Here was me thinking you were on our side. Everybody is fired, indeed.
