It's irrelevant. If the standard says that undefined options produce undefined behavior, the conclusion is obvious. If the standard says that undefined options are disallowed, then you test to see whether the program accepts undefined options. IOW, the specific behavior of undefined options is orthogonal to your test. -- Mike Stone
