Quote of the week

If the C standard thinks "undefined argument even for inlining use is [undefined behavior]", then it's a case of that paperwork that doesn't reflect reality, and we'll treat it with the deference it deserves - is less than toilet paper.

We have decades of history of doing that in the kernel. Sometimes the standards are just wrong, sometimes they are just too far removed from reality to be relevant, and then it's just not worth worrying about them.

Next week's news.. Linus has had enough and announces Crap, the C language standard and compiler set which isn't toilet paper.

Linus will merely implement the language. It will fall to someone else to write the crap paper that defines and standardizes it.
