It is intended to have no side-effects. I followed the same logic used by `__buildin_constant_p`, and the CodeGen tests attempt to validate the lack of side-effects.

I didn't see a difference in your godbolt link? Neither incremented `a`. (Though neither built, so perhaps my tweaking changed the result?)
