#156439 - Do not assume it is that easy
Responding to: ???'s previous message
<quote>
Yes, if the persons coding, and reviewing, are not familiar with dark corners of the language specification, that can happen.

The common stuff is just as bad as the dark corners. It is why the users of "real HLL" complain about C. uninitialized variables and pointers. Off by one errors in arrays. Pointers to the wrong memory. Embedded systems add another layer of pit falls. Interrupts, Atomic operations, and the details of the hardware.
The dark corners happen later.
