A few comments:Many portable C programs assume that signed integer overflow wraps around reliably using two's complement arithmetic.I'd replace "portable C programs" with "widely-used C programs". The normal use of "portable" means that it conforms to the standard.
Actually the use of portable here is quite appropriate, it emphasizes that such programs in general are pretty portable *despite* the fact that they do not conform to the standard.
