There are many things that folks commonly do that are officially
undefined... like strlen(NULL) (that returned 0 on an NCR box but
segfaulted a SPARC - the NCR guys tried to claim it proved the Sun was
broken, but I had to point out that it's undefined).
A[i++] =
i++;
I can't quote chapter and verse, but I'm fairly sure the standard
will
say that the result of that assignment is undefined. > Many programmers would say "I would never

Indeed.
#define SIX 1+5
#define NINE 8+1
printf("What you get when you multiply SIX by NINE: %d", (SIX * NINE) );
Very nice.
