The current wording of 7.3.2 [conv.lval] gives the result of fetching an uninitialized unsigned character an unspecified value, which is then stable: assigned to a different variable, it will be the same throughout the lifetime of that variable. It would be more helpful to optimizers for the unspecified value to be viral, so that fetching from the second variable would also yield an unspecified result, not necessarily the same each time.
