- Michael says (talking about overflow in C)
-
- "An implementation must handle this and must document how it does so."
-
- Yes, of course the documentation may say that the result is to delete
- your system disk. Even if a more reasonable behavior is described, any
- program relying on such an implementation dependent feature is of
- course compromising its portability. One of the troubles with C is
- that it is oh-so-easy to introduce implementation dependence.
-
- It is interesting to note that a number of "bug" reports sent into gcc
- are complaints that GCC does not duplicate some implementation
- dependent behavior seen in some other compiler.
