Though what GCC does for a compilation unit with Ada's pragma Optimize(Off); inside it is close to what some users seem to be wanting in C. GCC does complain about an attempt to translate the program below with optimization turned on:

That's what I mean by pretty much ignoring the pragma. It is supposed to affect the optimization, not just check that you being consistent!
