Bug ID: 42949
Summary: __builtin_constant_p lowering is inconsistent,
producing false-negatives
Product: clang
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: C
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

It appears that __builtin_constant_p will eagerly get lowered to `false` in the
frontend if clang has reason to believe that __bcp's argument may have
side-effects. This has unintuitive consequences: https://godbolt.org/z/P-8vLS
Looks like this is a result of some special casing added in r359844.
It's understandable that __builtin_constant_p is totally a best-effort thing,
and there may be cases where it produces odd results, but this particular case
seems like it may be pretty confusing to anyone who isn't willing to read
clang's source code. :)
