There is never any question of giving compilers permission to do things
to the code that make no difference in the behavior. There is no possible
way of "stopping" the compiler from doing X if X has no effect on the
semantic behavior of the program, because the concept of stopping the
compiler from doing X has no meaning in such a case.
