Hi! The following valid testcase is rejected, because cxx_eval_binary_expression is called on the SPACESHIP_EXPR with lval = true, as the address of the spaceship needs to be passed to a method call. After recursing on the operands and calling genericize_spaceship which turns it into a TARGET_EXPR with initialization, we call cxx_eval_constant_expression on it which succeeds, but then we fall through into code that will VERIFY_CONSTANT (r) which FAILs because it is an address of a variable. Rather than avoiding that for lval = true and SPACESHIP_EXPR, the patch just tail calls cxx_eval_constant_expression - I believe that call should perform all the needed verifications.
