i don't think so. you have two questions here: is such code correct,
and will it broke? if the answer to the first question is "no", then
the second question has no sense.

i keep thinking that such code is not correct (albeit it compiles ok),
so nothing will break.

at least this is how i understood your question. maybe you are right,
and i didn't get it.
