    c++: constexpr clobber of const [PR121068]
    
    Since r16-3022, 20_util/variant/102912.cc was failing in C++20 and above due
    to wrong errors about destruction modifying a const object; destruction is
    OK.
    
            PR c++/121068
    
    gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
    
            * constexpr.cc (cxx_eval_store_expression): Allow clobber of a const
            object.
    
    gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * g++.dg/cpp2a/constexpr-dtor18.C: New test.
