Sorry, I made a mistake in that test code. I was trying specifically to
make a situation where it would be very hard for the compiler to
optimize away one of the vars and meant
if( !(i % 4) )
                 father += 10 * i;




Anyway, the same behavior occurs with the following code, where I
believe the two vars are entirely independent.




int foo(int i, int r, int c)
{


      static int mother = 10;
      static int father;




      if( ! (i % 2) )
          mother += 18 * r;


      if( ! (r % 3) )
          father += 10 * i;


      if( c > 0 )
          return mother;
      else
          return father;


}




Thanks.
