@cstross I remember back in the late 2000s we fooled our manager into believing that NetHack was a sysadmin tool

@pinskia (NOTE: I untagged Elissa because she has since deleted the thread). I get the same result with that exact code, but in my case the RHS was inside a function call, and then both gcc and clang are silent about it, even with -fsanitize=undefined. So the code in the image doesn't warn me in gcc/clang, but if you change #if 0 to #if 1 it does

@vampiress I stubbed my toe on a text book variant of this very recently where I simply had to duplicate the top stack element, like:

stack[stack_height++] = stack[stack_height-1];

The RHS was "hidden" behind a function call which made it slightly harder to see straight away. I didn't see the bug until I tried compiling it on clang instead of gcc.

So.. I'm half-seriously looking into Ada now :-) (also because it's not the only recent disappointment I've had with C)
