G++ 1.27 does generate a warning when a reference to a
local automatic variable is returned, but NOT when a reference to an
expression is returned.



int &test1()
{
  int	a= 3;

  return a;	// Warning produced
}

int &test2()
{
  return 3;	// No warning produced !!!
}

===================================================
The generated code is identical for both functions:
