Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component|libgcc |tree-optimization --- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Yep, GCC fixes the code for you by eliding 'buf'. That's perfectly OK though since the code invokes undefined behavior. I'm inclined to close this as INVALID/WONTFIX, it isn't really a bug (but also not a feature you can rely on of course).
