I mean, the comic is fine I guess, but if it implies the Cpp lady is hitting you, it's not. That would be the kernel, the lady did what you told her to do.

If undefined behavior is triggered anywhere in the program, then it is allowed by the standard for the process to ask the anthropomorphized compiler to punch you.

100% based and standards-compliant comic

In some build modes clang will simply put a trap where it sees undefined behavior. https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html

Not saying your wrong, just a fun fact I guess

Yeah that is fun, credit where it's due, compilers do a lot of cool work behind the scenes.
