This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

Aside from the request for a comment about `SourceLocation SL`, this LGTM (though we may want to improve the diagnostic behavior in the future).



================
Comment at: clang/test/AST/Interp/cxx20.cpp:119
+    A a;
+    constexpr C2() {} // expected-note {{subobject of type 'int' is not initialized}}
+  };
