--- Comment #2 from Xi Ruoyao <xry111 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
N1570 6.9 p2:
"If an identifier declared with external linkage is used in an expression
(other than as part of the operand of a sizeof or _Alignof operator whose
result is an integer constant), somewhere in the entire program there shall be
exactly one external definition for the identifier"
and annex J.2 explicitly lists "An identifier with external linkage is used,
but in the program there does not exist exactly one external definition for the
identifier" as undefined behavior.
Note that you cannot interpret "used" as "really executed at runtime" because
it's impossible to solve halting problem, so such an "interpretation" will
render the entire standard nonsense.
