[Bug c/34024] New: infinite loop on longjmp with optimization

[sebor at roguewave dot com]

When compiled with gcc 3.4.4 through 4.1.2 -O on x86_64 the program below never
terminates. I haven't checked the standard for possible undefined behavior in
this case but since the same program terminates when compiled with many (all?)
all other compilers we have available I'm making the assumption that that this
is a gcc bug. I'll gladly accept a pointer to the chapter and verse that allows
gcc to behave this way.

$ cat t.c && gcc -O t.c && ./a.out | head -n 10
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <stdio.h>

jmp_buf env;
void call_longjmp (int x) {
    printf ("test_longjmp(%d)\n", x);
    longjmp (env, x);
}

int main ()
{
    int x = 1;
    int y;

    y = setjmp (env);
    if (0 == y) call_longjmp (x);
    else if (y < 3)
        call_longjmp (++x);
}
