[clang][ExprConst] Allow non-literal types in C++23 (#100062)
Instead of diagnosing non-literal types in C++23, allow them and later
diagnose them differently, e.g. because they have a non-constexpr
constructor, destructor, etc.
For this test:
```c++
struct NonLiteral {
NonLiteral() {}
};
constexpr int foo() {
NonLiteral L;
return 1;
}
// static_assert(foo() == 1);
```
The current diagnostics with c++20/c++23 are:
```console
~/code/llvm-project/build » clang -c array.cpp -std=c++20
array.cpp:91:14: error: variable of non-literal type 'NonLiteral' cannot be defined in a constexpr function before C++23
91 | NonLiteral L;
| ^
array.cpp:87:8: note: 'NonLiteral' is not literal because it is not an aggregate and has no constexpr constructors other than copy or move constructors
87 | struct NonLiteral {
| ^
1 error generated.
------------------------------------------------------------
~/code/llvm-project/build » clang -c array.cpp -std=c++23
(no output)
```
With the `static_assert` enabled, compiling with `-std=c++23` prints:
```console
array.cpp:95:15: error: static assertion expression is not an integral constant expression
95 | static_assert(foo() == 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~
array.cpp:91:14: note: non-literal type 'NonLiteral' cannot be used in a constant expression
91 | NonLiteral L;
| ^
array.cpp:95:15: note: in call to 'foo()'
95 | static_assert(foo() == 1);
| ^~~~~
1 error generated.
```
As mentioned in #60311, this is confusing. The output with c++20
suggests that using c++23 will make the problem go away, but it's
diagnosed the same when running the function.
With this commit, the output instead diagnoses _why_ the non-literal
type can't be used:
```console
array.cpp:95:15: error: static assertion expression is not an integral constant expression
95 | static_assert(foo() == 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~
array.cpp:91:14: note: non-constexpr constructor 'NonLiteral' cannot be used in a constant expression
91 | NonLiteral L;
| ^
array.cpp:95:15: note: in call to 'foo()'
95 | static_assert(foo() == 1);
| ^~~~~
array.cpp:88:3: note: declared here
88 | NonLiteral() {}
| ^
1 error generated.
```
Fixes #60311Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
