Comparisons of NULLPTR_TYPE operands cause all kinds of problems in the
middle-end and in fold-const.c, various optimizations assume that if they
see e.g. a non-equality comparison with one of the operands being
INTEGER_CST and it is not INTEGRAL_TYPE_P (which has TYPE_{MIN,MAX}_VALUE),
they can build_int_cst (type, 1) to find a successor.
The following patch fixes it by making sure they don't appear in the IL,
optimize them away at cp_fold time as all can be folded.
Though, I've just noticed that clang++ rejects the non-equality comparisons
instead, foo () > 0 with
invalid operands to binary expression ('decltype(nullptr)' (aka 'nullptr_t') and 'int')
and foo () > nullptr with
invalid operands to binary expression ('decltype(nullptr)' (aka 'nullptr_t') and 'nullptr_t')
Shall we reject those too, in addition or instead of parts of this patch?
If so, wouldn't this patch be still useful for backports, I bet we don't
want to start reject it on the release branches when we used to accept it.

* cp-gimplify.c (cp_fold): For comparisons with NULLPTR_TYPE
operands, fold them right away to true or false.
