There are a few related cases here.

Case number one is when you have something like `int z(); A a = { z(), z() };`. 
 There's no constant evaluation going on: you just emit two zero-initialized 
variables, and the runtime init initializes both of them.

Case number two is when everything is obviously constant: something like `A a = 
{ 1, 2 };`

Case number three is when there are simple side-effects, and the standard 
requires we evaluate them at compile-time.  Something like `A a = { 1, 
++a.temporary };`.  In this case, we need to ensure that we use Evaluate() to 
compute the value of both the temporary and the variable.  The literal "1" is 
not the correct value to use.  CodeGenModule::GetAddrOfGlobalTemporary is 
supposed to ensure we use the value from the evaluation of the variable as a 
whole (see comment "If the initializer of the extending declaration").

Case number four is when we can't constant-evaluate a variable as a whole, but 
we do evaluate some of the temporaries involved.  Something like `int z(); A a 
= { 1, a.temporary += z() };`  In this case, we constant-evaluate the temporary 
using the initial value, then emit runtime initialization to finish computing 
the value of the variable as a whole.

You example should fall under case three.  Both the temporary and the variable 
should be evaluated by Evaluate().

I'm not sure how the code ends up emitting the value 6, but hopefully that 
helps?
