`__builtin_constant_p` will always gives `false` if we use `__builtin_constant_p(static_cast<const volatile _Up*>(__p))` as-is. I think this is because of that `__builtin_constant_p` checks whether the final result is a constant expression, not merely where the operand is constant-evaluable.

`&& false`, `|| true`, `|| false`, `? 0 : 0`, and `((void)(expr), 0)` equivalently work.
