[Bug tree-optimization/21569] New: write to const variable ignored at -O[12]

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

const int i=0;
int foo(void)
{
        *(int *)&i = 1;
        return i;
}

with -O0 gcc returns 1, with -O1 and up it returns 0.

Is this a valid store to i?  If not, why doesn't gcc warn
even at -Wall?
