Are you ignoring N1570 4p2?

    If a "shall" or "shall not" requirement that appears outside
    of a constraint or runtime-constraint is violated, the behavior
    is undefined. Undefined behavior is otherwise indicated in this
    International Standard by the words "undefined behavior" or by
    the omission of any explicit definition of behavior. There is 
    no difference in emphasis among these three; they all describe
    "behavior that is undefined".

I already cited it in this thread.
