------- Comment #16 from jbuck at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-05-07 00:32 ------- The return statement, before the optimization, does two things; it causes a copy constructor call, and it causes the function to return. NVR eliminates the copy constructor call, but the statement still returns. At -O0, don't we still hit a distinct return statement for the code at the given source line? The fact that there is also unexecuted code present that executes only if exceptions are caught should not matter, because we mark a statement as covered if any part of it executes.
