--- Comment #4 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The warning machinery is only able to warn about vars in SSA form, vars which
must live in memory can't be warned on easily.  So, for such variables you only
get warnings if the compiler is able as part of some optimization make the var
non-addressable (e.g. inlining and propagation can help that, etc.), or scalar
replacement of aggregates is able to break appart larger aggregates and use SSA
form for those.  Thus, you get better warnings with optimizations.
