$1 = void
Guess the nop in there is added because of targetm.cxx.cdtor_returns_this.
The NOP_EXPR is created by:
else if (call != error_mark_node
&& DECL_DESTRUCTOR_P (cand->fn)
&& !VOID_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (call)))
/* An explicit call of the form "x->~X()" has type
"void". However, on platforms where destructors
return "this" (i.e., those where
targetm.cxx.cdtor_returns_this is true), such calls
will appear to have a return value of pointer type
to the low-level call machinery. We do not want to
change the low-level machinery, since we want to be
able to optimize "delete f()" on such platforms as
"operator delete(~X(f()))" (rather than generating
"t = f(), ~X(t), operator delete (t)"). */
call = build_nop (void_type_node, call);
