You don't get to decide what UB means. It really does mean nasal demons are a possibility: all bets are off when you run that executable. Use of the term "undefined behaviour" to mean something else may be on the increase, unfortunately (https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/298/what-...), but if we're talking about C, it's meaning is fixed.

I didnt, the deterministic nature of computer programs guarantees that what I wrote is the actual outcome.
