As it also does with e.g. strlen("something"). Functions that are marked to
return the same value if the same value is passed in and which are used with a
constant input are calculated during compilation and the result is used in the
binary. So if you write something like:
if (sqrt(strlen("foobar")) > 4)
return 1;
else
return 0;
I'm rather sure the code generated by gcc (if optimizations are turned on)
will be just "return 0".
