The main problem being undefined behaviour that is actually undefined and varies from compiler to compiler!

Yeah, you might need a config switch to configure what would you want to do with the most common undefined behaviours (or "just change" your C code)

(Because "just change" usually ends up creating other problems. Been there, done that, "code is wrong but works" and when you try to fix stuff breaks)

You are free to assume that undefined behavior never happens. Unless you want to support invalid c programs.
