Ah, another silly strawman argument.

There is no such person, as you know perfectly well.  The word
"mandated" makes no sense; the whole point is that nothing is
mandated for UB.  Nobody has "mandated random, unchecked behaviour".
No compiler writers are going to burn your house down.  Presumably,
you're not going to shoot anybody.

Compiler writers do not deliberately implement code that burns
your house down.  If they did, it might not violate the ISO C
standard, but it would open them to civil and criminal liability.
Your imaginary bogeyman compiler author who wants to burn your
house down would not be deterred by a requirement in the ISO C
standard that the implementation shall not burn your house down;
they would just ship code that does that.

There are no nasal demons in the real world.

There have been, and perhaps still are, computers that can be
physically damaged in software.  If it's possible for a program
to deliberately damage the computer it's running on, then it's at
least in principle possible for a program with undefined behavior
to do so accidentally.  Likewise for erasing your hard drive.

Please enlighten us with your solution to this problem.

And yet, everyone keeps repeating that anything is possible. For example:

JK:
"For instance, the C standard
could impose defined behavior for integer division by 0. It could
mandate that such a division must result in the computer halting and
catching fire."

(This is an example of a particular thing that C says must happen, but 
since it doesn't do that and leaves it open, then presumably it could 
happen.)

Well, people here could stop talking about all the strange things that 
theoretically might happen when the language doesn't tie it down, and 
admit that the actual possibilities are fewer:

* You get the wrong result when signed operations overflow. If that was 
not intended, then there is a programmer error, so nothing to do with 
the language or compiler

* Some compilers might assume the program is 'correct' (in that overflow 
is not intended and not expected), and use that for some minor 
optimisations. But in majority of cases, it can't predict overflow at 
compile-time. Those optimisations can be disabled by options such as 
-fwrapv (which is the way many lesser compilers work anyway)

* Some compilers can be told to trap overflow, and deliberately crash 
the program (I've tried that, and by itself is useless)

Generally, such arithmetic will wrap, and the behaviour will then match 
that of multiple other languages with equally primitive machine types.

So the whole business could be summarised sensibly, instead we must have 
nasal daemons, or your hard drive being formatted, or the machine 
catching fire.

Some possibilities may be due to consequences of unexpected overflow, 
but that will be due to programmer error, and which could easily be 
caused any number of other program bugs, including unsigned overflow.

Alternatively, signed overflow could no longer UB, which is no great 
loss, and a significant gain.

Yes.  And somehow you see a contradiction where none exists.

No, what we keep saying is that anything is permitted. Nasal demons are
impossible, but if we happened to exist in a world where they were
possible, nothing in the C standard would prohibit their generation by
code with UB.

You seem to have trouble with words like "require" and "permit". Here's
a hint, just because something is permitted doesn't mean that it will
happen.

Spectravideo SVI-728 MSX machine is one of those. I do not
remember the exact commands to damage it, but it will happen
if you write wrong values to some of its hardware
registers (not CPUs, though).

SVI-728 was moderately popular in Finland back in the 1980s and
was actually the biggest competitor against Commodore 64
here. I have a working SVI-728 too, but only use OpenMSX
emulation nowadays.

I am sure some hobbyists still use the old 8-bit MSX
hardware and why not, it can still be lots of fun.

I've read that on old computers with core memory, a tight loop
accessing one memory location could cause one of the ferrite rings
to melt -- a literal core meltdown.

Screensavers exist because displaying a high-contrast unchanging
image could damage a CRT display.

Someone once wrote a program that would cause a hard drive's
read/write head to move back and forth at the resonant frequence
of the drive, causing it to fall off the table onto the floor.

Many years ago, I wrote a program (in Pascal) that would peform a
seek beyond the logical end of the (8" floppy) disk.  The result
was a very loud banking sound from inside the drive.  I don't think
I caused any damage, but I could have.

Modern computers typically do not have these specific problems,
but a bug in the software for a weapon system could easily cause
it to destroy the wrong target, even if the software's behavior is
well defined.

The point is that no language standard can prevent this kind of
problem, even for languages that place a high priority on security.
For any behavior that is left undefined by the language, the range
of possible behaviors is unlimited, and can include Bad Things
Happening.  No usable language can prevent all bad behaviors without
preventing desirable behaviors.

This kind of reminds me of a program, SpinRite iirc. It did very funny 
things with a HD.

Modern computers typically do not -expose- the portions
of the hardware that can cause these specific problems, but
they are still there (e.g.  power/voltage/frequency controllers
programmed by vendor firmware).

I've seen firmware bugs fry more than one CPU chip[*]....

Almost all modern systems can be damaged by defective software.
The usual culprits are thermal and power issues; if the firmware
driving the feedback loop for the cooling system has bugs, the
CPU can be thermally compromised, and will likely not work
correctly afterwards (though this can be difficult to spot; it
often manifests as random crashes).  If the power control
software in your voltage regulator is buggy, you can similarly
expose the part to a high-enough voltage level to cause physical
damage.  These are not theoretical; I've seen both in the wild.

Then there are the secondary consequences of e.g. incidental
security vulnerabilities that arise because a compiler decided
to elide defensive code because of UB.  For examples, see:
https://people.csail.mit.edu/nickolai/papers/wang-undef-2012-07-12.pdf

>Please enlighten us with your solution to this problem.

Well, for starters, compiler writers could be less giddy about
using UB to get better result on synthetic benchmarks.

But that aside, the idea is generally a problem.  UB went from
being an acknowledgement that C was standardized well after it
was into adolescence, and had spread to a variety of different
machines that all behaved differently, and has mutated into a
thing that implementations leverage aggressively for speed, no
matter the intent of the underlying program.

Despite the points raised here, that's not how the language was
implemented historically, and a strong case can be made that UB
has caused the language to lose its way.

A way to address this might be to make UB a hard error.

In some cases, runtime checks are not possible without using a virtual 
machine or massively invasive techniques, totally negating the main 
point of using C in the first place.  If you want to eliminate the UB of 
dereferencing a pointer that does not point to an object of the 
appropriate type, you'd be better off writing the whole program in 
Python because it would be faster.

Even run-time checks on integer arithmetic overflow are costly for 
efficiency.

Such checks can be helpful in debugging and fault-finding, however.  UB 
gives you that freedom.

I think the main case here is the same as in C++26 - changing reads of 
uninitialised variables into "erroneous behaviour" rather than undefined 
behaviour.  I am not convinced it is a good thing.  I would rather have 
had a change that made it harder to write code with UB in the first 
place - even if that means some rare cases of correct existing code 
needed to be changed to fit newer standards.  Backwards compatibility is 
important, but not all-important.

Not in C, no.  This is one reason most programmers should be
moving away from programming in C and to other languages that
are better specified and have fewer sharp corners.

I don't want to beat the drum of Rust too loudly, but UB in safe
Rust is a compile-time error.  Go tries to minimize it.  Zig
seeks to enumerate all of it and expose it in the language:

While "normal" computers are unlikely to be damaged by software (I don't 
know if the "Halt and Catch Fire" assembly opcode was real or a myth), 
it is perfectly possible for embedded systems.  An obvious example would 
be an aeroplane flight control system, but much more mundane motor 
controllers are capable of overheating themselves to the point of damage 
if the software has faults.


However, I would say that if you have a signed arithmetic expression 
that overflows unexpectedly, it is just as likely to cause disaster due 
to totally incorrect values as it is from code generated by a compiler 
that assumes the overflow never occurs.  A flight controller that 
figures out that your altitude is -2,000,000,000 meters, it is not any 
better than a flight controller that assumes your altitude is never 
negative.

It is a very common mistake for people to think that defined behaviour 
is somehow better or safer than undefined behaviour - in reality, there 
is no inherent limit on how badly things can go as a result of any bug, 
and guaranteed bad behaviour is not better than unguaranteed behaviour.

My favorite example is string truncation.

Imagine you want to execute an external command like
"rm -rf /home/yourname/tmpdir".  Now imagine that the command is
silently truncated, perhaps by strncat, after the last '/' character.

It's not likely that a 28-character string would be too big to fit
into a buffer, but it's easy to imagine more realistic examples.

According to Wikipedia:
"After the introduction of the MC6800 processor in 1974, a design flaw
was discovered by programmers. Due to incomplete opcode decoding, two
illegal opcodes, 0x9D and 0xDD, will cause the program counter on the
processor to increment endlessly, which locks the processor until reset.
Those codes have been unofficially named HCF. During the design process
of the MC6802, engineers originally planned to remove this instruction,
but kept it as-is for testing purposes. As a result, HCF was officially
recognized as a real instruction."

So, there is a real HCF instruction, but unfortunately it doesn't
actually cause the system to catch fire.

This is silly and reductive.

The point about saying that something is "UB" originally came
from different machines doing things differently; C chose to
kick that can down the road by simply declaring that the result
was "undefined."  "Nasal demons" were never anything more than a
euphamism.

The computing world is, in so many ways, simpler now than it was
then: we've got 2's complement machines everywhere, bytes are
pretty much uniformly sized at 8 bits, multi-byte values have
power of two widths, and so on.  So now, "UB" has come to mean
that a compiler can make assumptions about code to introduce
aggressive optimizations: if it is undefined what happens when
signed integer arithmetic overflows, then the the compiler can
choose to use a saturating instruction instead of a regular
arithmetic instruction that wraps; or it can trap; or elide the
instruction entirely.

All of those options are correct, because as far as the language
is concerned, what the compiler does is undefined, so anything
it does is thus definitionally "correct."

This differs from "implementation defined" in that IB _is_ well
defined; it's just that the actual behavior depends on the
implementation.  For example, the integer value of the code
point corresponding to the character constant 'A' is IB: in
ASCII is 65 dec, but in EBCDIC it is 193.  It is perfectly
well-defined to assign that to an `int`, but the actual value
depends on the implementation.

>Which would you choose? Personally, I would shoot the person who 
>mandated random, unchecked behaviour in the first place.

No, you wouldn't.  You are not going to shoot anybody.  It is
weird when people say things like this.

>And then choose (1).

Why that and not saturating arithmetic?

That was happening at about the time I came in, around the late 70s, 
after starting off on word-based mainframes. C however has taken decades 
to adapt, and it still hasn't fully.

This is where I get lost. The language could easily have narrowed down 
the possibilities.

Because nearly all hardware, many languages using machines types, even 
most C implementations by default, and all my own stuff, has wraparound 
behaviour.

Also, in C, matches the behaviour of unsigned arithmetic.

It would be bizarre to go for something different /at this level of 
language/. At higher levels you can get more sophisticated, but you 
probably still wouldn't go for saturated.

Because, as I said, the incentives changed.  They went from, "oh
gee, all these machines are different; we can't possibly define
what this means" to, "oh gee, we can use the undefined nature of
$X to make code faster."  They'd probably argue that they've
adapted just fine; just not in the direction they wanted you to.

See above.

Don't care about your stuff.  It's not relevant.

The question was about what instruction a compiler emits for a
given operation.  The point is that, in the face of UB, compiler
authors have greater lattitude here than they otherwise might if
the behavior was well-defined.

Consider ARM, which has the `QADD` instruction, that saturates.
Now consider, `int foo(int a) { return a + 1; }` compiled with a
compiler following the eabi.  Since signed integer overflow is
UB, and in that environment `int` is 32-bits wide, the compiler
is perfectly free to implement this using `QADD`, so that
`foo(INT_MAX)` returns `INT_MAX`.

Your objection seems to be, basically, "why would anyone every
do that?"  To which I answer, there could be any number of
reasons: perhaps they're targeting silicon where that's cheaper
than a normal `ADD`.  Perhaps the compiler is doing whole-
program optimization, targeting a standalone environment, and
thus sees the entire call graph, and determines that `foo` is
always followed by a sequence that ensures saturating behavior,
so it's more efficient to elide that code and use `QADD`.  I
don't know, but neither do you, and that's the point.

See above.
