test case

I'm using LLVM 2.1 with the pre-built "llvm-gcc4.0-2.1-x86-linux-RHEL4" GCC
front end.

The attached program ought to print "4 6", but when I run it I get:

foad at debian:~$ ~/llvm/llvm-gcc4.0-2.1-x86-linux-RHEL4/bin/llvm-gcc -o ke ke.cpp
foad at debian:~$ ./ke
3 4

I don't see this problem if I compile with a standard GCC 4.0.1 distribution,
configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu.

>From looking at the generated llvm code, the problem is that when
foo::operator+= calls foo::operator+, it passes in "this" directly as the
structure return pointer. That doesn't work because foo::operator+ writes to
its return value before reading from its arguments.
