[cfe-dev] missing optimization opportunity for const std::vector compared to std::array

[Dennis Luehring via cfe-dev]

so i've rembered correct - Richard Smith already fixed that with an 
patch to LibC++ years ago

this post informed about the patch
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20140602/106887.html

what happend to this optimization - was it removed or broken over time?
or is it just not possible to test the behavior on gcc.godbolt.org with 
the laste clang, missing flags or something?
