I really don't care about words, and about C, I want signed/unsigned compile-time/run-time overflow errors in D. Bye, bearophile

Like I mentioned afterwards, I think communication is important, so we should strive to have a clear understanding of the terms we and other people use. But anyways, regarding this issue, I am satisfied. The D glossary and TDPL have precisely defined "undefined behavior", which I didn't know was the case. Also, the related term "implementation defined", which some people in the C world equivocate with "undefined behavior", has been used here in D, but in also in a more accurate way, distinct from "undefined behavior". So that's good. -- Bruno Medeiros - Software Engineer
