--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
GCC trunk does warn about exactly the issue:

ce.cc: In function 'int main()':
ce.cc:10:43: warning: 'this' pointer null [-Wnonnull]
   10 |     constexpr auto x = ((X*)nullptr)->foo();
      |                                           ^
ce.cc:4:19: note: in a call to non-static member function 'constexpr int
X::foo() const'
    4 |     constexpr int foo(){
      |                   ^~~


But that should be an error during constant evaluation.
