>Description:
I'm compiling this code with this command:

gcc -O2 ./bug.c

running ./a.out doesn't output the word "Wonderful!" as it should...

CODE:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
	int iNbr = 1;
	int test = 0;
	while(test == 0) {
		printf("iNbr = %d\n", iNbr);
		if (iNbr == 0)
			break;
		else {
			printf("Wonderful\n");
			iNbr--;
		}			
		test = 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

Instead if display nothing.  But if I replace the condition if (iNbr==0) with if (0) things work.  Even optimized that code should print Wonderful.

This code works with -O1 -O3 and with 2.95.3
