Yes.
constexpr is like - "require the initializer to be a constant expression." But the compiler will have to check it anyway.

 I have seen code like this:
 void func()
{
    constexpr int c = 1;
    f(c);
}
 For some reason, people believe that adding constexpr will magically improve optimization. In reality, it doesn't change anything compared to const and often reflects a misunderstanding of how the compiler works. As a result, I end up having to explain it. In this sense, constexpr is viral and spreads confusion.
