Re: Miscompilation of remainder expressions

possibly so ..

Note however that I am not saying that the standard is not defective. Who knows how to write and submit C/C++ standard defect reports? Let us do that, assuming that such a report has not been submitted already.

not clear that this is a defect, I would find it quite reasonable for the C standard to recognize this anticipatable case, and decide that a%b is undefined if a/b is undefined.
