No even the following program:
int main (void) { return 0; }
is guaranteed to work
I'm missing something: why not?
It boils down to pedantism. The encoding of the above is ASCII, and
the encoding type of a C program is implementation defined. The other
thing is that the abstract machine defined in C can be utterly bogus,
i.e. not capable of executing anything due to various implementation
specified environment limitations.
Ofcourse, this is all academic ... and I don't know any such idiotic
implementation.
