            Bug ID: 43420
           Summary: __builtin_constant_p resolves differently with loop
                    unrolling at -O3
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Interprocedural Optimizations
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

            Blocks: 4068

void c(void);

void a(void) {
  for (int b = 0x10; b; b <<= 1)
    if (__builtin_constant_p(b))
      __bad_udelay();
    else
      c();
}

Clang at -O2 and GCC at -O3 look similar.  At -O3, LLVM unrolls the loop 27
times, but b is no longer an ICE or rather BCP evaluates to false.  This
triggers a miscompile (__bad_udelay is purposely undefined) in the Linux kernel
at -O3.
