>Description:
The following (stupid, I admit) code is treated differently under different optimalizations (no warning or error is made)

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
	int i;
	/* use argc */
	i = argc;
	if (i++ == i++) 
	{
		printf("true %d\n",i);
	}
	else
	{
		printf("false %d\n",i);
	}
    return 0;
}

laarp@mollis [200] > a.out               
true 2
laarp@mollis [201] > gcc -Wall -O6 test.c
laarp@mollis [202] > a.out               
false 3

Note: This piece of code violates: an object shall have its stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression
(Committee Draft -- August 3, 1998, WG14/N843 
paragraph 6.5 Expressions)
I don't know if it is still part of the the official release.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just compile the code and see for yourself!
>Fix:
Generate at least a warning or always have the same behaviour.
