--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Testcase:

#include <memory>

constexpr auto f()
{
  std::allocator<long long> a;
  auto n = std::size_t(-1) / (sizeof(long long) - 1);
  auto p = a.allocate(n);
  a.deallocate(p, n);
  return n;
}
static_assert( f() );


In practice if the arithmetic wraps around and a smaller buffer is allocated,
any attempt to write beyond the allocated size would be detected in constant
evaluation anyway. So you'd still get a compilation error in most cases.
