[Bug c++/17332] New: templated code optimization fails on fixed boolean template parameter

["yuri at tsoft dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I have piece of code that I compile in 2 variants:
w/out and with boolean template parameter in one class.
This boolean template parameter just includes some
extra code if turned on. It's defined in compile time as
false therefore should make no difference in program
logic in this case.

Runtime of optimized final code with template parameter
is 2 times longer than when this template parameter is
not defined at all.

PROBLEM: runtime depends on presense of template parameter
that obviously makes no difference.

I expect runtime to be insensitive to this kind of
template parameter.

Code below demonstrated the problem,
one of the first two lines should be uncommented.
First line enables template parameter,
second one disables it.
