Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but here's what I think is problematic:

We have an implementation that executes in constant time, but only if a 
compiler cannot predict a flag. It would take a little improvement in an 
optimizing compiler to generate two versions of the code, calling either one or 
the other depending on that flag. If it did,even with a non-constant flag the 
supposed constant-time implementation would be no such thing. Am I wrong?
