GCC does not "modify" the C code while optimizing.  That is, it
does not take generic C code and transform it into an equivalent
but optimized C program.  Most compilers do not do this.

Instead the program is converted into an internal intermediate
form, which is then optimized and restructured, then output into
assembler or object code directly.
