In ANSI/ISO C: no. But the ANSI/ISO C standard is not a good model
for how to write specifications.
In GNU C: yes. For example, many parts of the GNU C manual say
that if a certain option is enabled, the compiler will issue
certain warnings. If the GNU C manual is treated as a specification,
these parts of the manual are definitely requirements on the compiler.
