Yes that might be true but we can get a testcase where it fails even though it is valid code:
void abort (void);
int
main (void)
{
unsigned char *b;
unsigned size;
b = ((unsigned char *)&b)+1;
/* location of pointer on stack - pointer - constvar */
size = ((unsigned char *) &b) - b;
if (size!=-1)
abort ();
return 0;
}
