CppCon 2016: Chandler Carruth “Garbage In, Garbage Out: Arguing about Undefined Behavior..."
CppCon
Chandler Carruth's CppCon 2016 talk tries to defuse the heated debate over undefined behavior in C and C++. He explains from the compiler writer's perspective why UB exists and how it enables optimization.
HN points to it whenever undefined behavior comes up, as the best explanation of the reasoning behind UB, though some dispute its framing.
