Any drawbacks with turning on optimization when generating a production copy
for distribution for usage?

Is there a possibility that the compiler may mis-interprete the original
program logic and rearrange the codes such that the program doesn't work as
expected with optimization turned on, even though the program source is
clearly OK?

How do we determine the level of optimization that is appropriate or
suitable for a program, apart from experimentation? -O1, -O2 or -O3?
