c++: constantness of local var in constexpr fn [PR111703, PR112269]
potential_constant_expression was incorrectly treating most local
variables from a constexpr function as constant because it wasn't
considering the 'now' parameter. This patch fixes this by relaxing
its var_in_maybe_constexpr_fn checks accordingly, which turns out to
partially fix two recently reported regressions:
PR111703 is a regression caused by
r11-550-gf65a3299a521a4 for restricting
constexpr evaluation during warning-dependent folding. The mechanism is
intended to restrict only constant evaluation of the instantiated
non-dependent expression, but it also ends up restricting constant
evaluation occurring during instantiation of the expression, in particular
when instantiating the converted argument 'x' (a VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR) into
a copy constructor call. This seems like a flaw in the mechanism, though
I don't know if we want to fix the mechanism or get rid of it completely
since the original testcases which motivated the mechanism are fixed more
simply by
r13-1225-gb00b95198e6720. In any case, this patch partially
fixes this by making us correctly treat 'x' as non-constant which prevents
the problematic warning-dependent folding from occurring at all.
PR112269 is caused by
r14-4796-g3e3d73ed5e85e7 for merging tsubst_copy
into tsubst_copy_and_build. tsubst_copy used to exit early when 'args'
was empty, behavior which that commit deliberately didn't preserve.
This early exit masked the fact that COMPLEX_EXPR wasn't handled by
tsubst at all, and is a tree code that apparently we could see during
warning-dependent folding on some targets. A complete fix is to add
handling for this tree code in tsubst_expr, but this patch should fix
the reported testsuite failures since the COMPLEX_EXPRs that crop up
in <complex> are considered non-constant expressions after this patch.
