You left out your statement I was objecting to:

                                                No optimization

He's right.
It should only depend on the intermediate code you are given, not where it came from.
This optimization should be turned on or off by seeing whether it would be profitable (for some definition of profitable) on the code given, not because the code came from the C++ or C or whatever FE.
