No. Something like

# If SWISH++ doesn't work correctly with optimization on, but it works
# just fine with it off, then there is likely a bug in your compiler's
# optimizer.
 
would be accepted by most compiler authors. Actually, the statement
"there is likely a bug in the compiler's optimizer" is probably
accepted by most compiler authors independent of context. We know
there are many bugs in the compiler; in the optimizer and
elsewhere. The question is whether any of these bugs affect your
program.
