You can't really compare this with previous examples. This one is much
different because it is undefined, unpredictable and therefore useless
and much worse. Your choc fish challenge was defined in its behaviour
and predictable, although extremely bad programming and a convoluted way
to say while(1); .
I didn't realise one can index an integer constant with a pointer. Don't
give me any more ideas... ;-))
But I'm afraid this whole thread has gone a bit OT.
