Here's the actual patch from x264, which works around the problem:

https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2013-April/009962.html

The h.264 reference is part of the SPEC benchmark (a good choice for a 
benchmark, as h.264 is both complex, difficult to get fast, and important).  
x264 is the implementation people actually use (and with "actually", I mean: 
every Youtube video is re-encoded with x264).  x264 has been derived from 
h.264, so it contains similar, but not exactly identical code.

Small test, it doesn't get converted into an endless loop:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int a[16] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 };
  int j=0, i;
  for(i=0; a[i]; i++) {
    j += a[i];
  }
  printf("result: %d, got up to %d\n", j, i);
}

This prints 120 for all optimizations except without optimization, where it 
becomes unpredictable; which is understandable, because it should search for 
the first 0 in memory.  There's no zero in a[], and there's no zero around 
it.

It looks like they have now a "defined" out-of-bound value, which reads 0.  
Test:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
  int a[16] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
  int j=0, i;
  for(i=0; !a[i]; i++) {
    j += a[i];
  }
  printf("result: %d, got up to %d\n", j, i);
}

Yes, gives an infinite loop with optimization.  Stops at 16 with result 0 
without.
