Jesus Christ.  I've just read through that thread and while I can't
really say that I like fefe's foot-stomping "I'm not going away until
you fix that bug and I get my sweet" attitude, technically he's spot on.
 The gcc maintainers insist that "undefined" gives them the license to
do literally anything at all instead of trying to find out what the
sensible semantics in such as case might be.

Overflow checks are rare already, so they should be cherished, not
optimised away.

Fun,
