What do you want to say with this?
This is the bad code, the behaviour in this case is simply not 
defined, and if somebody writes such code in a safety critical 
system, he/she is definitely in the wrong place.

Of course, one compiler should (and probably will) give the same 
result if compiled several times, but do not expect such crappy code 
to be portable.
