> The following C++ program crashes when compiled with GCC (both 5.4 and 6.3) under Cygwin, when compiled with both an optimization level higher than -O0 (i.e. -O1, -O2 or -O3) and the C++ standard set to -std=c++nn (for any supported nn, i.e. 98, 03, 11, 14 or 17):

I've tried it with both cygwin-devel-2.8.0-1 and cygwin-devel-2.8.1-1.
With cygwin-devel-2.8.1-1, reproduced.
With cygwin-devel-2.8.0-1, there is no problem.

I've attached the script that I used and the results.
