Not necessarily.

I once had a macro something like

#define GetTwoBytes(a, d) { d=a[0]++; d+=a[0]++<<8; }

either -O1 or -O2 went ``wrong'', the other did what I wanted. The
optimization did the increase of the array (pointer) immediately
(hence twice), or postponed until after the macro (only once).

Nowadays I use something less obscure.

Morale of the story: -Ox does not always keep the same execution result!

Bye,
Kero.
