Description

[basic.indet]/1.2 seems a bit too terse to read. Does the paragraph require that each erroneous byte value is reproducible at each time the execution point is reached (possibly even among different executions)?

Can we add an example to clarify that which implementation strategies are allowed and which are not?

Research direction

Read [basic.indet]/1.2 in the linked C++ draft and review the existing discussion about whether erroneous byte values must be reproducible. Locate the draft source for this paragraph, then add an example that clarifies which implementation strategies are allowed and which are not; done means the intended interpretation is explicit.
