Try section 6.2.2 paragraphs 4 and 7. The code has undefined behaviour, which means the compiler can issue a diagnostic, or ignore it, or generate a binary with unexpected results. N.B. in C++ the code is not undefined, instead there are three different objects called i5 with internal linkage, no linkage and external linkage respectively (see the example in section 3.5 paragaph 6 in the C++ standard).
