The example would be something like

void foo(ssize_t x)
{
  if (x >= 0) {
    if (x+x < 0) printf("Overflow\n");
  }
}

main()
{
  foo(2147483647);
}

This should print "Overflow" but won't if the evil optimization
triggers. (However you may have to tweak the example program so the
compiler can't inline the argument to foo.)
