            Bug ID: 64356
           Summary: Some constexpr expressions not recognized as constexpr
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: sneves at dei dot uc.pt

Consider the following snippet:

  template<size_t N>
  constexpr uint64_t f(const char (&x)[N]) {
    uint64_t s = 0;
  #if defined(FAILS)
    for(uint64_t c : x)
      s += c;
  #else
    for(size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
      s += x[i];
  #endif
    return s;
  }

  template<size_t N>
  constexpr uint64_t g(const char (&x)[N]) {
    char y[N] = {0};
    for(size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
      y[i] = x[i];
  #if defined(FAILS)
    return f(y);
  #else
    return f(x);
  #endif
  }

  constexpr auto x = g(__DATE__);

When FAILS is defined, GCC (trunk, 20141219) refuses to recognize x as a
constant expression, while with FAILS undefined it works as expected. Clang
accepts both variants.
