I found a use of parser->non_integral_constant_expression_p:
finish_id_expression_1 can set it to true which then makes
a difference in cp_parser_constant_expression in C++98.  In
cp_parser_constant_expression we set n_i_c_e_p to false, call
cp_parser_assignment_expression in which finish_id_expression_1
sets n_i_c_e_p to true, then back in cp_parser_constant_expression
we skip the cxx11 block, and set *non_constant_p to true.  If I
remove n_i_c_e_p, we lose that.  This can be seen in init/array60.C.
