I don't think that page is relevant.

Try section 6.2.2 paragraphs 4 and 7.

The code has undefined behaviour, which means the compiler can issue a
diagnostic, or ignore it, or generate a binary with unexpected
results.

N.B. in C++ the code is not undefined, instead there are three
different objects called i5 with internal linkage, no linkage and
external linkage respectively (see the example in section 3.5 paragaph
6 in the C++ standard).
