Wow, that's really fascinating! (In a bad sense.)[...]Here's a C version with the same behavior:
```
term% cat weird.c
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
for (unsigned int k = 0; k != 1; k += 2)
;
return 0;
}
void
hello(void)
{
printf("Hello, World!\n");
}
term% clang --version
clang version 22.1.6
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin
term% clang -Wall -pedantic -O1 -std=c23 -o weird weird.c
term% ./weird
Hello, World!
term%
```
And (in clang) just an effect of the '-O1' (as I notice).
I may have missed the "programming language design" wisdom of the
past decades. Back then we had the conception that "optimization"
is a method to transform a program to a _functionally equivalent_
code (one that is faster, requires less memory, or some such).
