================ Comment at: lib/CodeGen/CGExpr.cpp:1323 + if (result.HasSideEffects && !AllowSideEffects) { + assert(!isa<DeclRefExpr>(E) && "declrefs should not have side effects"); return ConstantEmission(); ---------------- The side effects here are those associated with the initializer of the referenced declaration, not the DRE itself. Some expressions can be constant-evaluated despite having side-effects because the side-effects occur in an ignored operand, like the LHS of a comma or the base of a MemberExpr that refers to a static member. We can't allow side effects here because (1) we're not actually collecting the side-effectful expressions to emit and (2) we'd need some permission from the context to decide that we're allowed to do so anyway (with a lambda capture, those side-effects have actually already been emitted, but I'm not convinced that's always true). On the other hand, I think we need to be able to emit MemberExprs to static members as constants despite the presence of side-effects in their base expressions, and I can't think of any reasonable way to do that except actually making a temporary DeclRefExpr to try to constant-emit instead.
