That is only valid if p + 3 does not get outside of buff > which GCC doesn't see Rather than performing an invalid optimization (that is, produce wrong-code) with a warning, I would prefer if GCC would simply only do valid optimizations. Code ought to be written to be maintainable. If code has to be changed, so as to avoid invalid optimizations from a compiler, then 1. it becomes a lot of work to change the code so that all compilers on all supported platforms are pleased, 2. the maintainability of the code suffers. I did not enable particular, dangerous optimization options. Just "-O2", which is the default setting in every package that uses autoconf.
