Hi! The excess precision support broke building skia (dependency of firefox) on ia32 (it has something like the a constexpr variable), but as the other cases show, it is actually a preexisting problem if one uses casts from constants with wider floating point types. The problem is that cxx_eval_constant_expression tries to short-cut processing of TREE_CONSTANT CONSTRUCTORs if they satisfy reduced_constant_expression_p - instead of calling cxx_eval_bare_aggregate on them it just verifies flags and if they are TREE_CONSTANT even after that, just fold. Now, on the testcase we have a TREE_CONSTANT CONSTRUCTOR containing TREE_CONSTANT NOP_EXPR of REAL_CST. And, fold, which isn't recursive, doesn't optimize that into VECTOR_CST, while later on we are only able to optimize VECTOR_CST arithmetics, not arithmetics with vector CONSTRUCTORs. The following patch fixes that by only returning what fold returned if for vector types it returned VECTOR_CST, otherwise let us call cxx_eval_bare_aggregate. That function will try to constant evaluate all the elements and if anything changes, return a CONSTRUCTOR, in the vector type cases with fold called on it at the end. Now, just calling cxx_eval_bare_aggregate for vector types doesn't work either (e.g. constexpr-builtin4.C breaks), because cxx_eval_bare_aggregate if nothing changes (like all elts are already REAL_CSTs or INTEGER_CSTs) will return the old CONSTRUCTOR and nothing folds it into a VECTOR_CST. Also, the reason for the short-cutting is I think trying to avoid allocating a new CONSTRUCTOR when nothing changes and we just create GC garbage by it.
