This version has no UB.
I believe it does. [...]
If you look again carefully, I expect you will reach a
different conclusion.
Please explain. Or don't.
I explained, in text that you snipped, why I think it has UB.
If there's a flaw in my reasoning, I invite you to point it out
without being mysterious.
I wasn't thinking about your reasoning or what flaw there may have
been in it. My intention was to suggest a course of action that
would be helpful rather than to point out any sort of mistake. But
since you ask, I think the mistake you made was jumping to a
conclusion without looking carefully enough at the problem.
The mistake I made was failing to notice that the line with the
assignment to pc ends with a comma operator rather than a semicolon.
The code was deliberately obfuscated, and I fell for it.
I acknowledged that nearly a year ago. Why bring it up now?
I find it extremely annoying.
