As usual, an error is incorrect in such a case that only has undefined 
behavior at runtime (but it may be compiled into an abort if the behavior 
is unconditionally undefined, and the abort doesn't replace anything 
before the undefined behavior that might have stopped the undefined 
behavior from occurring).
