shafik added inline comments.

================
Comment at: clang/lib/AST/Interp/ByteCodeExprGen.cpp:683-685
+  // C++17 onwards require that we evaluate the RHS first.
+  // Compute RHS and save it in a temporary variable so we can
+  // load it again later.

I filed a bug on this a while ago that we don't catch unsequenced modifications 
in constant expressions contexts: 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/37768

I am almost sure I had a conversation with @rsmith about this.
