You are asking a question about details of code generation, so don't be surprised that you need to provide exact code and other conditions. The result in general depends on the specific compiler version, optimization flags, and even surrounding code. For a specific case, look at the actual generated assembly code using the 'gcc -S' invocation; if you want to understand exactly the details of what gets genereated, when and why, you need to read the compiler code generation templates (tricky).
