See for yourself. 'gcc -S' is most helpful. The above generates a
string constant "bar\0" for all optimization levels.
Jakub Jelinek claims to have fixed this particular bug in the last week
or so, although I have not downloaded and compiled recent CVS to verify
this. (Didn't someone at some point have a cgi frontend to
CVS-snapshot 'gcc -S'? I can't find it now.)
There is a similar case of scoped 'static' variables, like 'bar' here:
extern void baz (int *);
void foo (void)
{
if (0) {
static int bar[1024]; /* useless 4096-byte hole in bss */
baz(bar);
}
}
and according to Jeff Law, this case is *not* fixed yet.
