Yes. $ gcc -Wall blah.c blah.c: In function `main': blah.c:16: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit' blah.c:19: warning: implicit declaration of function `malloc' blah.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function `free' $ One of those lines has undefined behavior that typically manifests itself as _appearing_ to operate correctly on little-endian platforms but doing the Wrong Thing on big-endian platforms.
