Take this "stupid" example (even though this most likely shows up in GCC but I 
don't know for sure):
int g1(int);
static void h(int *a) { *a = 1; }

int g(void)
{
  int t = 0;
  h(&t);
  int t1 = t;
  g1(t1);
  return t1 == t;
}

That return should have been turned into "return 1" as t does not escape via h 
as h only touches it.
Compile with -O3 -fno-inline to see the problem.
