IMHO it would be better to issue a warning when a finite loop is
transformed to an infinite one (as a result of -ftree-vrp).

-Wstrict-overflow gives a warning in this program.  This warning isn't
active by default.  4.1 didn't yet have this warning IIRC.

I would tend to agree that when this transformation is applied, an
unconditional warning is appropriate. It's almost certainly indicative
of a bug, and indeed the character case of this report is such a common
case that I would look for it specifically and diagnose it (and
preferably make it "work").


Ciao,
Michael.
