I started reading the paper and its interesting. I didn't knew till date how optimizations really worked and why they were considered harmful. Yet to read the blog. > I wonder how Plan 9 C compiler, which is a non-ANSI compliant compiler, > treats those parts that the ANSI C standard treats as undefined. No idea. But Brantley Coile might be able to answer, most of his article he mentions compiler won't do any magic, I assume those magic are meant for the optimizations. Of course others from 9fans/9front might have answers but that name came to my mind as I read some recent article where he mentioned about plan9 compilers.
