Try contextually converting condition of constexpr if to Boolean value

[ismailp]

Summary

C++1z 6.4.1/p2:
If the if statement is of the form if constexpr, the value of the
condition shall be a contextually converted constant expression of type
bool [...]
C++1z 5.20/p4:
[...] A contextually converted constant expression of type bool is an
expression, contextually converted to bool (Clause4), where the
converted expression is a constant expression and the conversion
sequence contains only the conversions above. [...]

Contextually converting result of an expression e to a Boolean value
requires bool t(e) to be well-formed.

An explicit conversion function is only considered as a user-defined
conversion for direct-initialization, which is essentially what
contextually converted to bool requires.

Also, fixes PR28470.

Thanks, LGTM.

If you're looking for more issues in this area -- in passing I noticed that we fail to apply the "contextually converted constant expression of type bool" rules properly in the other cases where they apply, either (the operand of static_assert and noexcept).

Please also add a test that we reject expressions that are contextually convertible to a bool constant expression but are not contextually converted constant expressions of type bool. Example:

if constexpr (4.3) // ill-formed, boolean conversion not permitted

... and sadly ...

constexpr void *p = nullptr;
if constexpr (p) // ill-formed, boolean conversion not permitted

Thank you for reviewing.

Sure, I'll try to look into those conversions as well.

Is there a more elegant way to do this? The previous check didn't seem to work with diagnostics.

Tests for semantic issues should go into test/SemaCXX (organized by category) or test/CXX (organized by section of the standard). In this case, test/CXX/stmt.stmt/stmt.select/stmt.if/p2.cpp is probably the most appropriate place (somewhere in its namespace ccce, perhaps).

Thanks! I've done that, and pushed.
