a bug where the compiler generates faulty code if variable reference is used

... in more detail.  How do you know the code is faulty?  Exactly what do you look at?  What result do you expect, and what do you get instead?

For the source file that contains the problem code snippet, please follow the directions in the article How to Submit a Compiler Test Case.  Regarding this test case you say ...

I understand.  Search How to Submit a Compiler Test Case for the part titled Protecting Intellectual Property.  Use those directions to privately submit the test case to me.

se::MajorityFilter<se::u64, 16> b;
 // WHEN
 b.reset();
 b.add(8);
 b.add(8);
 b.add(10);
 b.add(2);
 // THEN
 se::u64 c = b.get();
 std::cout << c << "\n";
 assert(c == 8);

Here is a code snippet where we have a template class called MajorityFilter which in this case can
store a number of u64:s and return the value with the highest count. The result from the code snippet
is 32, I expect it to be 8. Worth mentioning is that the MajorityFilter is a FIFO queue.

I have sent the compiler test case in a private message.

Btw the behavior is as I expect it to be when built with compiler option -g instead of
-O3 --opt_for_speed=4 -DNDEBUG --symdebug:none .

We are using C6000-CGT-8.3.8
