Source file that I am using to reproduce the issue

When compiling unit tests for my code with g++, I discovered a particular unit test was failing when I compiled it with the -m32 and -O3 options.

Background:
I have a class template for a Vector (the kind used in physics, not the container). Vector contains a fixed with array of data, and an invert() method that performs x = 1/x on each element of the array, modifying it in-place.

The unit test consists of initializing a vector "o" with an array of predefined values, calling o.invert(), and then comparing the values in the vector to a set of predefined, expected values for equality. The test returns "true" when compiling with "-m32", "-m64", and "-m64 -O3", but returns "false" when compiling with "-m32 -O3".

It should be noted, if you change the invert method to treat the Vector as "volatile", or make use of the values in some way (e.g. by doing srand( o.data[0] ); or std::cout << o.data[0] << " " o.data[1] << ... << std::endl;) this circumvents the problem.

I've managed to isolate and reproduce the issue in its own file. I had a friend compile and run the test program as well and verify that he is getting the same result. I've attached the source file to this bug report. The .ii file was too large to attach.

Here is the command line I am using to compile the program, using the requested switches:
g++ -O3 -m32 -Wall -Wextra -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations -save-temps -std=c++11 G++O3Bug.cpp -o bin/G++O3Bug && ./bin/G++O3Bug

As requested, here is the output from gcc -v on my system:
owner@mint ~/Desktop/test $ gcc -v
