File under "surely no compiler will optimize away X!", for X in

* unspecified pointer comparisons
* signed integer over/underflows
* data races (on bitfields)
* volatile in lieu of proper atomic access
* proving that a loop doesn't terminate, hence the loop is never 
entered, and applying dead code optimization to it
* ...

To do any of the above is not belligerent, AND you have no way to switch 
the above optimizations off. (Also, you don't want to.)

In other words: this is playing with fire in the long term run, that's 
why I suggested to bypass the C++ abstract machine, rely on ABI and use ASM.
