The compiler issues spurious warnings such as "warning: '__cur' might be used
uninitialized in this function", where on the corresponding line, __cur is the
lvalue in an assignment. The warnings are not issued at -O0. I noticed this
problem when dealing with nested STL containers. 

This is not a duplicate of bug 5035.

Here is the test code: 

#include <vector>
#include <set>

int main(int, char**)
{
	std::vector<std::vector<std::set<int> > > basis;
	basis.clear();	
	return 0;
}

I'll attach the preprocessed output. Command line and compiler output follows:
