- Michael said:
-
- " When a value with integral type is demoted to a signed integer
- with smaller size or an unsigned integer is converted to its
- corresponding signed integer, if the value cannot be
- represented the result is implementation defined."
-
- Fine, fair enough, my delete-the-system-disk flippant remark was
- inappopriate, but the important point that I made is not affected, which
- is that implementation dependence can be introduced in a very casual
- way by the use of such implementation defined features.
-
- The result could be for example the description of a complex consequence
- of a don't care condition in the optiization logic, or it could be always
- zero, or it could be wrapped or, or, or .. all of which are permissible
- from the above paragraph.
