Exactly. There is a lot happening implicitly in a C program that the programmer has to be aware of and keep in mind. And it’s made worse by valid compile implementation choices. I remember chasing a bug for a day that was based on me forgetting that the particular implementation I was working with had signed characters and was sign extending something at an inopportune time.
