Hm, yes; I'd kept the error as it was because I wasn't sure what other
kinds of trees might end up here, but I've done a fair amount of testing
and I've only been able to reach here with null pointers: everything
else gets caught earlier. I've updated the error message appropriately
and documented this assumption with an assertion.

Bootstrapped + regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu as above.

This patch improves the errors given when casting from void* in C++26 to
include the expected type if the types of the pointed-to objects were
not similar. It also ensures (for all standard modes) that void* casts
are checked even for DECL_ARTIFICIAL declarations, such as
lifetime-extended temporaries, and is only ignored for cases where we
know it's OK (e.g. source_location::current) or have no other choice
(heap-allocated data).

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* constexpr.cc (is_std_source_location_current): New.
	(cxx_eval_constant_expression): Only ignore cast from void* for
	specific cases and improve other diagnostics.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/cpp0x/constexpr-cast4.C: New test.

A very minor point (sorry), but I think you want

  auto_diagnostic_group d;

here.  Not need to repost the patch only because of this.
