Yet the compiler writers care only about the language spec, and you can bet that failing to optimize this as dead code would be considered a compiler bug. This goes not only for Java compiler, but many other languages as well.

Sometimes compiler engineers try to be too smart and they end up creating a mess :) https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8537 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8537 >When optimizing code for "dead store removal" the optimizing compiler may remove code necessary for security.

    Political thing, but bug created by removal is real :)

      The bug is real, but it isn't the compiler's.

      Well you posted the link… next time at least try to post one that supports your idea instead of the opposite.
