Hello,
Following program compield with -03 does NOT had dead-code loop removed. 
This empty loop actualy IS executed (and program takes few seconds to 
complete)

int main() { for (long long int i=0; i<500000000; i++) ; return 0; } 

IMHO compiler at -O3 should optimize code to :

int main() { return 0; } 

why this dead-loop is not removed ?
