We currently do not easily see that they are constant:

  D.1599.a = 6;
  D.1599.b = 1;
  D.1603_1 = compute_dint (D.1599, 1);

but we could in theory improve our IL by not forcing the aggregate argument
to a temporary during gimplification of

  rv = compute_dint (<<< Unknown tree: compound_literal_expr
    struct dint D.1599 = {.a=6, .b=1}; >>>, 1) + rv;

but simply allow !is_gimple_reg_type CONSTRUCTORs that are TREE_CONSTANT,
thus have

  D.1603_1 = compute_dint ({.a=6, .b=1}, 1);

in the IL.  That would still require ipa-cp to handle aggregates though.

The above would also mean that

  D.1599 = {.a=6, .b=1};

would be valid GIMPLE (I see no good reason to disallow this either).
