Sample code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
        int a[2];
        a[0]=10;
        a[1]=20;
        printf("a[0] = %d a[1] = %d\n", a[0], a[1]);
        a[0]^=a[1]^=a[0]^=a[1];
        printf("a[0] = %d a[1] = %d\n", a[0], a[1]);
        return 0;
}

gcc test.c -o test -O2

a[0] = 10 a[1] = 20
a[0] = 20 a[1] = 10

gcc test.c -o test -O0

a[0] = 10 a[1] = 20
a[0] = 0 a[1] = 10

Bug: When compiled with -O0 swap fails.
Swap only fails in case of array. Following code works fine with -O0:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
        int a, b;
        a=10;
        b=20;
        printf("a = %d b = %d\n", a, b);
        a^=b^=a^=b;
        printf("a = %d b = %d\n", a, b);
        return 0;
}
