PR23135: Don't instantiate constexpr functions referenced in unevaluated operands where possible.
This implements something like the current direction of DR1581: we use a narrow syntactic check to determine the set of places where a constant expression could be evaluated, and only instantiate a constexpr function or variable if it's referenced in one of those contexts, or is odr-used. It's not yet clear whether this is the right set of syntactic locations; we currently consider all contexts within templates that would result in odr-uses after instantiation, and contexts within list-initialization (narrowing conversions take another victim...), as requiring instantiation. We could in principle restrict the former cases more (only const integral / reference variable initializers, and contexts in which a constant expression is required, perhaps). However, this is sufficient to allow us to accept libstdc++ code, which relies on GCC's behavior (which appears to be somewhat similar to this approach). llvm-svn: 291318
