Note the "unspecified" in the paragraph above.
Thanks for the doc snippet, but as a non-developer I don't understand it.
"unspecified" and "undefined" basically mean that the behavior is not set on how to handle such a case. That means that it's more or less up to the compiler. And while the compiler will attempt to resolve the issue, the way it does is not guaranteed to be consistent, reproducible, or even sane. Markus Straver (the author of Pale Moon) develops primarily on Windows with the lazy MSVC compiler (MSVC 2012[1]), so he won't notice much from stricter compilers. In fact, last I checked, the project actively advises against building Pale Moon with anything newer than GCC 4.9 anyway[2]. They don't have CI or bother to try to make modern compilers like GCC or Clang part of their testing, and do not actively try to resolve issues detected by the compiler. I'm honestly surprised Pale Moon is available somewhere for openSUSE, given how much they go out of their way to make things better on Linux.
