First of all the code in the two submissions is not the same. However, fixing this difference does not explain the discrepancy.

The issue lies in the line else m[c] = --c, --k; which does a bunch of weird things including setting m[c] while modifying c in the middle of the expression, as well as using the comma operator.

    In fact, after C++17, it wll first evaluate rhs then lhs so m[c] = --c is not UB...
