If any Xen developers have time, we're gathering some information on C semantics that would be very helpful to have your input on.
This survey explores what C is, in current mainstream practice: the behaviour that programmers assume they can rely on, the behaviour provided by mainstream compilers such as GCC, Clang, ICC, and MSVC, and the idioms used in existing code, especially systems code. These often differ in important ways, from each other and from the ISO standard. We're *not* asking what the C standard permits (it's often more restrictive and sometimes just unclear), or about obsolete implementations. If you can point to examples (e.g. of real code that depends on the feature in question) that would be great. We're particularly interested in any nice Xen issues that have been caused due to interpretations of the C spec.
