Is a sanitizer enabled, that would trap on OOB?

It's important to understand the __builtin_constant_p is highly
sensitive to optimizations; code using it typically relies on
optimizations being performed before it's evaluated.  Which
optimizations, applied successfully or not, in what order, by which
compiler or versions of the same compiler can affect what
__builtin_constant_p evaluates to.  Code generally needs to be written
to assume that failure for __builtin_constant_p to evaluate to a
specific value or not is _not a bug_.
