   "undefined behavior" is defined by the C standard as referring to   
   behavior on which "this international standard imposes no requirements".   
   It remains UB even if some other document imposes requirements on the   
   behavior. In particular, if a given implementation implements an   
   extension that gives defined behavior to code that the C standard does   
   not, it's still UB, but it's entirely reasonable for users of that   
   implementation to decide they want to use that extension.
