Then your definition of "incorrect" is uninteresting. Per your
definition, "use of implementation-defined behaviour is incorrect",
essentially no non-trivial program is correct. Including gcc for a
start, which can't be correct, ever.
Nope, there is nothing in the C standard that suggests that a program
relying on implementation-defined behavior is incorrect of buggy, and that
has nothing to do with what Dave Korn wrote. There is a world of
difference between undefined and implementation-defined.
