Re:Undefined behavior can result in time travel by mihai_ionic on Friday June 27, 2014 @04:05PM (#7956044)
According to the C++11 standard, the compiler may assume that any loop terminates, so unless you mark ring_bell as [[noreturn]], the code will be assumed reachable.

Furthermore, when undefined behaviour is invoked anywhere within a program, the whole program is undefined.

As far as I remember, you are wrong: a loop with side effects (either external IO or volatile reads/writes) is allowed to never terminate.
