I suspect that this issue will also happen with the "`i`" constraint.


Indeed. We _do_ actually already know that in clang too, however -- clang already knows that "n" requires an immediate, and does constant expression evaluation for it, e.g. to expand constexpr functions. Grep for "requiresImmediateConstant". I guess it's just not hooked up to the __b_c_p correctly, though.

(Note, as a workaround, you could use `|` instead of `||`, or put the expression as the value of an enumeration constant).
