What Every C/C++ Programmer Should Know About Undefined Behavior
-
Hi,
Recently I've read some great texts about undefined behavior on LLVM blog. It is devided into 3 parts ("part 1,":http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know.html "part 2 ":http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know_14.html and "part 3":http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know_21.html ), inspired by "John Regehr blog":http://blog.regehr.org/archives/213 (also 3 posts). In my opinion both sources are absolute must-read for every C/C++ programmer. You'll learn what is undefined behavior, what are its drawbacks and good sides, how compilers handles these situations and how code is optimized. Posts also contain many examples.
