static variables - gcc does not warn for unreachable code -

I wonder why GCC (4.6.3) is not accessible to me Code In this example:

  #include & lt; Stdio.h & gt; Integer position (zero) {constant integer first_time = 1; If (first_time) {return1; First_time = 0; / * Never reached * /} and {return 0; }} Ent Main (Int argate, Const four * AGR []) {printf ("First call% d \ n", status ()); Printf ("second call% d \ n", position ()); Return 0; }   
 Note, the defective  position ()  was the purpose of the function to maintain a position I used to warn with  -wall  I also tried to get me tried  --Wearable-code ,  -extra ,  -pedantic  and  -ansi  (As it was discussed). Nevertheless, none of them gives me a warning  
 It seems that the GCC removes static variable assignments silently.  
 In my opinion, the GCC option should be thrown an error to  -wall-wester .   
 
 
 GCC 4.4 will warn you. This feature (wunakeb-code) has been removed in later versions of GCC.
