I'm all for optimization but ...

There is a certain computer (that I still use) that
requires the statement:

	n = n;

in order to force the hardware to work right for certain
values of n.  Well fix the **** computer you say, and
so do I.  But that will be a while and I can't wait.

If I had an optimizing compiler that was smart (?$!?)
enough to excise this I couldn't make the machine work
right.

Please dear compiler writers, make the compiler do what I
tell it (or at least have the courtesy to warn me about it).
If hardware was perfect then I wouldn't have a gripe, but
it ain't so I do.
