stack-ifthen.cc

When I compile the attached testcase "stack-ifthen.cc" with "clang++ -g -O"
using LLVM trunk (linux x86-64), I observe that the size of the stack frame is
larger than it needs to be (~1024 bytes).

Compiling with "g++-4.8 -g -O" yields a stack frame size of ~512 bytes; gcc is
able to recognize that the two local arrays can share the same stack space.
Clang/llvm creates a separate stack allocation for each array, resulting in a
larger stack frame size.

Interestingly, gcc/g++ appears to overlap the two arrays even when compiling
with -O0, which leads me to assume the layout is being done in the front end as
opposed to in the back end.
