Yes, that’s what I meant.  Clang thinks it’s valid to swap L1 and L2.  Though, for it to actually happen, they would have to be in a loop, since the problematic optimization is “loop-invariant code motion".  Here’s a modified version of your f() that shows the optimization in action:

Anyway, my point is just that using LKMM doesn’t save you from the bug.
