The following testcase ICEs, because potential_constant_expression_1 handles
some forms of CAST_EXPR, but cxx_eval_constant_expression doesn't.
Normally, if we have e.g. a non-dependent compound literal in a template,
finish_compound_literal will create a CAST_EXPR, but
fold_non_dependent_expr_template -> instantiate_non_dependent_expr_internal
will fold that away, so constexpr.cc evaluation doesn't see it.
reflect.cc calls finish_compound_literal in 3 spots, one is to create
std::array <type, 0> {}, another one is when creating the
std::meta::exception object to throw and the last one when creating
std::vector <std::meta::info> object to return from various metafns.
If that is done with processing_template_decl, finish_compound_literal
will again return a CAST_EXPR, but unlike the usual case it is during
constant evaluation and so instantiate_non_dependent_expr_internal
will not be invoked on it to clean that up.
Now, in the get_meta_exception_object case, we already have
/* Don't throw in a template. */
if (processing_template_decl)
{
*non_constant_p = true;
return NULL_TREE;
}
This patch uses the same thing (i.e. avoid folding even non-dependent
metafn calls that would need finish_compound_literal during
processing_template_decl) to fix this.
I think in both cases it is fine to defer the constant evaluation,
the return type from those metafns is not dependent (std::meta::info
in the reflect_constant_array case, std::vector <std::meta::info>
otherwise).

* reflect.cc (get_range_elts): Avoid calling finish_compound_literal
when processing_template_decl, instead set *non_constant_p and
return NULL_TREE.
(process_metafunction): Likewise.
