  Not hidden, the C standard spells it out. And implementation-defined behavior can be observed.

    > Not hidden, the C standard spells it out I would argue that if it needs to be spelled out in a separate document from the code you're reading, then it's hidden.

      You must be joking. Like, you only use languages that don't require you to learn anything.

  What hidden behaviors? The only hidden behaviors I can think of which are somewhat problematic in C are implicit value-changing conversions. But one can instruct compilers to diagnose those.
