Beware of certain buzzwords including "sequence points" and "trap
representation".
They have no scientific content, and instead were developed to cover
up the inadequacies and very impossibility of "standardizing" a toxic
waste dump (the C programming language and its dialects).
Their use indicates intellectual fraud.
A "sequence point" is when a "standard" C compiler "must" evaluate.
The existence of the buzzword is a cover up of the fact that the
standards committees consisted of people more concerned with vendor
profits who had no remit to determine a standard semantics and a
rational evaluation order, because they were afraid of discommoding
vendors.
A "trap representation" is a pointer in some sort of theological state
of sin that points **** knows where. The "C standardization"
philosophy is that we should close our eyes in holy dread and weave a
circle 'round it thrice when in fact in calculating a pointer, an
intermediate value might not be a legal pointer. The simplest case is
the fact that you usually don't want to point at memory location 0.
C standardization is pseudo science and snake oil. Please don't get
taken in.
