Accidental post before I was done. To complete the thought:
I actually can think of one indeterminate behavior in C (although it's
not certain whether this qualifies as interaction with the
environment):
int main(void) {
int a;
printf("%d\n",a);
return 0;
}
The C standard allows the memory a refers to to be uninitialized,
meaning that a's value is whatever previously existed in that memory
slot, which could be anything.
OTOH this program:
int main(void) {
int a = 1;
a = a++;
printf("%d\n",a);
return 0;
}
is undefined, which I guess technically could mean that compiler could
output an indeterminate result, but I doubt there are any compilers
that won't output the same value every time it's run.
