You didn't show us test.c.  You have to tell us what you did if you
expect a good answer to your question.

Without seeing test.c, I would guess that the variables are not used,
and were removed by the optimizers.

Peephole optimization is a specific type of optimization.  See
define_peephole and define_peephole2 in the internals documentation.
See many examples in the existing backends.
