The following code results in an error when optimized using -O2 or - O3 flag, but works fine with -O1. I've also been able to "confuse" the optimizer by adding some code just after or before the line "iX += pA2->iX;" but I'm not
sure how safe that method is.

   iBothSigns = -1;

 iX += pA2->iX;

Signed interger overflow is undefined.

   return *this;

       std::cout << "Error" << std::endl;

 return *this;
