I disagree, for many reasons. The issue is more complex, really. For instance - assuming of course the current implementation becomes completely legal - then changing the behavior for some targets and not for others, implies that the very same source code would not be be portable across those targets. I don't think we would like that. Besides, more generally, I'm not at all sure that all the users would actually *like* the new behavior. Indeed, to my best knowldege some implementations which, in principle, could rather easily implement the current standard mandated behavior (for many reasons, for instance are targeting only a small set of systems) decided to *not* implement it by default, on purpose. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6257
