When a compiler optimizes code, it is allowed to do anything, so long
as it doesn't change the observable behavior of the program. Since
your program does nothing, the compiler is free to generate *any*
program that does nothing. In fact, it would be perfectly legal for
the compiler to behave as if your entire program were:

int main()
{
  return 0;
}

, because it behaves identically to your original program.
