Very true. It doesn't prove anything that -O0 works while -O3 doesn't. It's still almost certainly a bug in your code. I don't think the percentage is 99.99999

I don't think the percentage is 99.99999% though. Compiler bugs do exist. I have seen several more than four in 12 years of C programming.

'four compiler bugs in 12 years' is just another way of saying: You do not encounter a compiler bug in day-to-day-programming. (Note the 'day-to-day'. Day-to-day-programming and 'all programming you do in x*10 years of C-programming' are very different sets of code written)
