IN every case where the standard specifies undefined behavior, it has a very good reason for doing so. The burden is on you to describe what on earth you are talking about. And you need to be addressing the semantics required in the language of the standard. You seem to have some vague informal notion of semantics here which is quite unclear. The notion of native target semantics is also very vague, since of course on any modern archictecture, any reasonable semantics can be implemented.

I think you should start with a quote from the standard regarding undefined behavior. Then for some particular target, define an example of what you are proposing. To fill out the proposal you then have to set up a giant matrix with all the undefined behaviors on one axis, and all the possible targets on the other, and fill in the intersections. Not an easy task at all!
