Commit Message

As discussed in 91428 and in
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54251530/stdis-constant-evaluated-behavior>,

  if constexpr (std::is_constant_evaluated ())
    // ...
  else
    // ...

always evaluates the true branch.  Someone in the SO post said "But hopefully
compilers will just diagnose that case" so I'm adding a warning.

I didn't want to invent a completely new warning so I'm tagging along
-Wtautological-compare.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?

2019-08-27  Marek Polacek  <polacek@redhat.com>

	PR c++/91428 - warn about std::is_constant_evaluated in if constexpr.
	* cp-tree.h (decl_in_std_namespace_p): Declare.
	* semantics.c (is_std_constant_evaluated_p): New.
	(finish_if_stmt_cond): Warn about "std::is_constant_evaluated ()" in
	an if-constexpr.
	* typeck.c (decl_in_std_namespace_p): No longer static.

	* g++.dg/cpp2a/is-constant-evaluated9.C: New test.
