Many respondents mention historical uses to attempt to get entropy, but that seems now widely regarded as crazy. There is a legitimate general argument that the more determinacy that can be provided the better, for debugging. But it seems clear from the text responses that GCC, Clang, and MSVC do not at present exploit the licence the ISO standard gives (in defining this to be undefined behaviour) to arbitrarily miscompile code, option (a). Clang seems to be the most agg...
