For some of these things the behaviour is explicitly undefined in C, meaning it’s dangerous for us not to handle them specially, as undefined behaviour seems to give compilers an unlimited license to do absolutely anything at all. The rest are “implementation-defined”. While what C does “works”, I’d rather we do one thing consistently instead of forcing developers to deal with the kinds of platform and compiler differences tools like PHP should be abstracting. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
