As this is only a sample to produce an ICE, this is no problem for me. But do you think this code is illegal in the sense that the compiler cannot generate valid code out of it? In that case I would be happy about a pointer to the specs that tell me that this is not allowed. Does any spec _force_ me to initialize b? When I do so, the error is vanished. Again, I don't care about undefined behaviour here. This is also the reason, why I omitted the initialization. My point, as far as I understand this situation, is that the compiler should generate a binary out of it. The resulting code is completely braindead --- I know that --- and may even SIGBUS or whatever he likes to do at _runtime_, but I don't see, why this should be seen as illegal at _compile_ time.
