You can perfectly specify that integer overflow either traps or wraps-around (this is what Rust does). Then the flag would be conforming. You can also say it is Erroneous Behavior (a new term in C++, not yet adopted for C AFAIK) and specified to wrap-around, which will also allow the flag (and arguably models Rust behavior more closely).
