vector & circular_buffer storage misbehave when using compiler optimizations

[ofir]

When compiling the following code without optimizations, it behaves as expected: (compiled with g++-4.7.2 with no flags at all)

#include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp>
#include <boost/circular_buffer.hpp>

int main () {
    boost::numeric::ublas::vector<double, boost::circular_buffer<double> > v (3, 1);
    std::cout << v << std::endl;
    v[1] = 5;
    std::cout << v << std::endl;
    std::cout << v[1] << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Output:

[3](1,1,1)
[3](1,5,1)
5

When compiling the exact same code with O1, O2, and O3 it produces the following output:

[3](0,0,0)
[3](0,0,0)
5

I noticed that inner_prod() also sees the vector as zeros.

I was able to replicate this with clang, but I got a warning which probably has some bearing here:
