Integer division by zero but system shows execution with exit code 0-CodePudding

The following code snippet causes the code to bail out prematurely. My question is why my system still shows Program finished with exit code 0.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
   int divisor = 0;
   int dividend = 0;
   int quotient = 0;

   printf("BEGIN\n");
   quotient = dividend / divisor;
   printf("END\n"); // This statement does not execute
   
   return 0;
}

CodePudding user response：

This is undefined behavior. The compiler is free to do whatever it feels is right in this situation, for example terminating with exit code 0.
