It's hard to be certain since they didn't actually show the code they were compiling, but judging by their pseudocode that test is entirely insufficient. If i is a compile time constant, v[i] is easy to optimize. The hard case is if i is a arbitrary runtime integer, as mentioned in my previous email.
Absolutely, it's entirely out of the question if i is not a compile-time constant. --Mike
