Look like the above doesn't work: gcc bug ?

#define NULL (void*)0

static inline int f1(void *to)
{
	if (__builtin_constant_p(to) && to == NULL)
		return 3;
	return 5;
}

int g1(void)
{
	return f1(NULL);
}

static inline int f2(int x)
{
	if (__builtin_constant_p(x) && x == 0)
		return 7;
	return 9;
}

int g2(void)
{
	return f2(0);
}



toto.o:     file format elf32-powerpc


Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <g1>:
    0:	38 60 00 05 	li      r3,5
    4:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

00000008 <g2>:
    8:	38 60 00 07 	li      r3,7
    c:	4e 80 00 20 	blr



It works for the int const, but not for the pointer const:

g1() should return 3, not 5. GCC bug ?
