/* Version:
 *     gcc version 1.34
 * File:
 *     <this file>
 * Problem:
 *     `gcc' fails to optimize fully in the case of dereference +
 *     autoincrement + pointer cast.
 * Repeat by:
 *     % gcc -O -S <this file>
 * Notes:
 *     `gcc' doesn't always take into account the size of the object pointed
 *     to by a pointer when dereferencing & autoincrementing.  If the size is
 *     1, 2, or 4 bytes, a simpler set of instructions could often be generated.
 *
 *     The generated assembler isn't affected by any of the `-f' flags.
 *
 *     gcc was compiled with `config.gcc sun3'.
 *     I am using a Sun 3/60 with UNIX 4.2 (Sun release 3.5).
