The burden of proof ought to be on the guys proposing -O2 optimizations that break longstanding code, not on the skeptics.There's also a burden of proof that proposed optimizations will actually "break longstanding code". So far, all of the examples of code shown that assumes wrapv semantics are such that it's nearly impossible to see any useful optimization that would break it!
Also, there are bug reports filed, so we certainly DO have examples of code breaking, and quite a few reports have discussed the need to enable -fwrapv for specific code bases.
