Your linked comment only quotes excerpts saying it's implementation-defined, rather than undefined. Can you point to the part that is undefined?

(You would use a uintptr_t for the xor'd prev-next pointers instead of void*.)




To be precise, it's implementation-defined whether it's undefined behavior, prior to C11. You are right that in C11, if uintptr_t is used to store the xored value, behavior is defined.


Implementation-defined whether it's UB or not is still implementation-defined, I think.

Which change are you thinking of in C11? (I'm just curious.) Thanks!
