I think you need to look at other parts of the standard. C11 6.3.2.1 
paragraph 2 says, "If the lvalue designates an object of automatic 
storage duration that could have been declared with the register storage 
class (never had its address taken), and that object is uninitialized 
(not declared with an initializer and no assignment to it has been 
performed prior to use), the behavior is undefined." Also see C11 
6.2.6.1 paragraph 5 for non-character accesses.
