[Bug c/17640] New: empty loop not removed after optimization

[wouter dot vermaelen at pi dot be]

gcc can optimize this program quite well. However the remaining empty loop is a 
bit silly.  
  
 
int f() { return 1; }  
  
int main() {  
  int a = 0;  
  for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i) {  
    a += f();  
  }  
  return a;  
}  
 
 
> gcc loop.c -O3 -S 
  
main:   pushl   %ebp  
        movl    %esp, %ebp  
        subl    $8, %esp  
        andl    $-16, %esp  
        subl    $16, %esp  
        movl    $99, %eax  
.L7:    decl    %eax  
        jns     .L7  
        movl    $100, %eax  
        leave  
        ret
