There's an enormous number of implementation-defined things, which
people kind of rely on to write 'portable code':

0. Conversion a value from `unsigned int` to `signed char` which doesn't
   fit in it yields an implementation-defined result.
   [C++14 now requires 2's complement, which is required by GCC.]
1. Shifting a negative integer to the right yields an impl-def result.
   Shifting a negative integer to the left is undefined behavior.
   [Ditto.]
2. Calling `fflush()` on an input stream results in undefined behavior.
   [The behavior is defined by POSIX 2008.]
3. Comparing two pointers that do not point to elements or past-the-end
   position of the same array, using one of <, >, <= or >= operators,
   results in undefined behavior.
   [C++ says the result is unspecified.]

So how can you write 'portable code' without regard to these facts?

In addition, even if it could be 'portable' to have standard casts
between `void*` and function pointers, the `%p` specifier of `printf()`
is still impl-def. So how can you make such combination more 'portable'?
