[Bug c++/40200] New: ''gcc file.cpp -o file.cpp'' Kills the code

[_paul at bk dot ru]

Command
gcc file.cpp -o file.cpp
leads to overwriting of the code by the compiled version
I propose error or backup of the overwritten file if it is equal to the sourse
file. 

This happened just now. I was in deep debug. 
While it didn't compile - no problem. 
As soon as I finished with all compile errors - I lost the code.

This is not the first time I tried to do such a dumb thing. But earlier I
stopped myself. To great regret - not now.
