$ cat test.cpp
void f();

int c[3];
int result;

struct Vector {
    static int get(int i) {
        if (i >= 3)
            f();
        return c[i];
    }
};

void g()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
        const int index = i % 3;
        result = Vector::get(index) + Vector::get(index);
    }
}

$ g++ -Wall -c test.cpp
[no warnings]

$ g++ -Wall -c -O2 test.cpp

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.4.3 20100108 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.2-9)

The bogus warning disappears if
- (index) is replaced by (i)
- Vector::get(index) is assigned to result (no addition)
- the if statement is removed (call of f() in all cases)
- get() is a global function

The bogus warning does not appear in gcc 4.2.4 (Debian 4.2.4-6). It appears
also in 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) and gcc 4.5.0 (GCC).
