Replace the implementation of __builtin_constant_p (which was based on the GCC
documentation) with one based on what GCC's __builtin_constant_p is actually
intended to do (discovered by asking a friendly GCC developer).
In particular, an expression which folds to a pointer is now only considered to
be a "constant" by this builtin if it refers to the first character in a string
literal.
This fixes a rather subtle wrong-code issue when building with glibc. Given:
const char cs[4] = "abcd";
int f(const char *p) { return strncmp(p, cs, 4); }
... the macro magic for strncmp produces a (potentially crashing) call to
strlen(cs), because it expands to an expression starting with:
__builtin_constant_p(cs) && strlen(cs) < 4 ? /* ... */
Under the secret true meaning of __builtin_constant_p, this is guaranteed to be
safe!
