I've seen GCC do precisely the 'optimization' you are concerned about,
but only when one of the operands is constant. One should use -fwrapv
whenever using gcc so that you get correct behavior, instead of
compiler-writers-potluck. I hope the gcc authors agree with your reading
of the spec in this case; it's getting very hard to trust them to ever
do the right thing though.
