The current implementation has been patched allegedly for the benefit of 
java, with the side effect of
giving different results between -O0 and -O1 for some (unspecified or 
undefined) conversions for C/C++.
Having user bugs masked by -O0 makes debugging harder, so this is a 
quality of implementation issue.
The proposed patch would also address this issue.
