This could be fine, but it's not guaranteed by the standard. For this
reason, I think ignoring UBSan warnings is almost always a bad idea.
You can't know what future compiler optimizations will do; all we can
do is to comply with the standard if we want to ensure that code
continues to work in the future. Whether or not most C programmers
want to admit it, writing C is programming an abstract machine. If the
semantics of this machine get in the way of performance, then the
programmer should resort to assembly rather than rely on behavior that
could change at any time.
