Thanks for the feedback.



================
Comment at: clang/test/SemaCXX/warn-constant-evaluated-constexpr.cpp:38
 constexpr int fn5() {
-  if constexpr (__builtin_is_constant_evaluated()) // expected-warning {{'__builtin_is_constant_evaluated' will always evaluate to 'true' in a manifestly constant-evaluated expression}}
+  if constexpr (__builtin_is_constant_evaluated()) // expected-warning {{'__builtin_is_constant_evaluated' will always evaluate to true in this context}}
     return 0;

I think it's reasonable to show fix-it hint to remove `constexpr` here.
For that we need to store the source range of `constexpr` in evaluation context record if it's constexpr-if condition.

+    if constexpr (std::is_constant_evaluated()) { // expected-warning {{always evaluate to true}}
+      return 0;

I agree that the current wording (`... will always evaluate to true in this context`) is not great, but I'm not sure how to improve it because the reason to see this diagnostic would mostly be a misunderstanding of the C++ const semantics.
At least, if the appearance of `is_constant_evaluated` is in the condition of constexpr-if, probably we can say they should remove `constexpr`.
