Hi David, 
 
This blog post explains the motivation for modeling undefined behavior:  http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-know.html

The idea is that you want to optimize your code based on the premise that undefined behavior in C allows you to do anything you like (to the undefined value).

Thanks,
Nadav
