The C standard allows that, but does not guarantee it, so providing that power and flexibility is a quality-of-implementation issue. And unfortunately, at least the gcc and LLVM maintainers do not want to provide this quality. A manifesto of this position is http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know.html my counter-position papers are: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/kps2015/proceedings/KPS_2015_submission_29.pdf http://www.kps2017.uni-jena.de/proceedings/kps2017_submission_5.pdf - anton -- M.
