>I actually wrote this blog post in reaction to the ongoing debate about the exploitation of undefined behavior by C compilers for optimization.

So, it looks like they do quite good job. They noticed that there was some feature needed, provided with some workaround. They added it to standard. No workarounds needed anymore. Workaround that uses some compiler features, but in terms of programming language don't make any sense. That's great, makes C better with same, good sanity. In fact, one of best things I like C for. :)
