I think "the spec" would be the socket API. For sockets, that is POSIX.
According to

http://www.opengroup.org/pubs/online/7908799/xns/getsockname.html

the result is unspecified if the socket has not been bound to a local
name.

However, Windows does not implement POSIX here; instead, it implements
WinSock, which specifies that WSAEINVAL is returned.
