So it's indeed ipa-reference that promotes the static vars and CCP that propagates the initializer. I see nothing wrong here, so the ObjC frontend must do something behind the middle-ends back. If you look at the final assembler code, is there anything modifying the contents of those three variables? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43061
