C problem


main() {
"example";
}

What happends here? Is the string example pushed somewhere?

That's what I was thinking. Because, according to my debugger, this program skips the "if" statement:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    if("What happens?")
    {
        "Nothing";
    }
    return 0;
}

While this one doesn't:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    if("What happens?")
    {
        cout << "Nothing";
    }
    return 0;
}

Which makes me think the optimizer is being tricky.
