Absolutely. In many experience if clang can deduce a function will definitely trigger UB such as definitely dereferencing a null pointer, it generally optimizes the entire function after the reference into a single ud2 instruction. (Which raises the #UD exception in the CPU).
This is something really hardwired into the C and C++ language. Even if the underlying operating system perfectly supports dereferencing null pointers, compilers will always treat them as undefined behavior. (In Linux root can mmap a page of memory at address 0, and certain linker options can cause the linker to place the text section starting at address 0 as well.)
