Beschreibung
GCC and Clang disagree on their handling of [[gnu::weak]] before C++17 https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/s7q67vqjz
struct S { static constexpr int var = 0; };
[[gnu::weak]] constexpr int S::var;
static constexpr int usage = S::var;
While it would be unsafe to constant-fold this code, it should be fine to constant-evaluate it, for consistency with GCC
In static bool evaluateVarDeclInit (ExprConstant.cpp), and in static bool CheckWeak (Interp.cpp), we should allow constant evaluation -without diagnostics, but not constant folding) - by looking at Info.EvalMode
