I'm not following you. It's not just a matter of "-O1 vs -O2". It's not as
if the source code were made for -O1 only. Uninitialized variables can
lead to undefined behaviour. With or without optimisation. Already a
single bit decides between 0 and 1, False and True, NULL-ptr and invalid
ptr, for example. Even worse for longer variables.
