Re: c++/8489: -ftemplate-depth and -O

Old Synopsis: -ftemplate-depth and -O together reject legal code
New Synopsis: -ftemplate-depth and -O

State-Changed-Why:
    Confirmed. However, note that the code is not just rejected,
    by setting -ftemplate-depth-40 you lower the limit from
    500, so you can expect that some codes will not compile.
    
    Nevertheless, there are two issues I see:
    1. Switching on -O should not affect the template 
       instantiation depth, so should not make a difference.
       However, it does.
    2. The output is barely readable. To see this even more
       clearly, delete all the #line lines, from the testcase,
       using the following little perl line:
            perl -pi -e 's/^#.*\n//g;' *.ii
       and compiler with -O and -ftemplate-depth-40. What
       you get, is amazingly something like this:

    Note that since I deleted all #line lines from the input,
    the whole thing about "included from" cannot be right.
    And in fact is not: these are the lines where the
    template instantiations or declarations are, as far as
    I can see. This does not make much sense...
