See this example:
struct Foo
int a;
int &b = a;
;
Is it a missed optimization, if sizeof(Foo)!=sizeof(int)
?
I mean, can the compiler remove b
from the struct, as it always refers to a
?
Is there anything which stops the compiler to make this transformation?
(Note, struct Foo
looks as it is. No constructors, etc. But you can add anything around Foo
, which shows that this optimization would violate the standard)

No, because you can use aggregate initialization of a variable to have it refer to something else.
struct Foo
int a;
int &b = a;
;
int c;
Foo f7, c;
