GCC 4.5 regression

[Guy Martin <gmsoft@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,


I've spotted this regression while testing gcc 4.5.2.
It hangs while doing one of the configure test of diffutils.

I've attached a reduced test case. The program is supposed to
segfault because of a stack overflow. However, with 4.5, it just hangs.
It seems that 4.5 simply over-optimize the function and replaces it
with a single jump.

Should I open a PR ?
Do you need other info ?

Here is how gcc is configured :
