--- Comment #3 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The documented purpose of the __builtin_constant_p intrinsic is "to determine
if a value is known to be constant at compile time." C11 specifies the
identifier as "static const char __func__[] = "..." defined at function scope.
While __func__ does qualify as an /address constant/ its value, or the address
of any other object with static storage duration, isn't known to GCC at compile
time.
Since no further update to this request has been made in over 10 years, and
since implementing it would result in an inconsistency with other static const
arrays (which are not treated as a constant expression by GCC), I'm going to
close it as WONTFIX.
If you have a compelling reason for this enhancement that would outweigh or
render moot the concerns above please feel free to reopen the request and
provide your rationale.
