Rule #1: If you do not understand what is happening, it is not a
compiler bug.  I'm not saying that it isn't, just that it is much more
likely something else.

This is declared as
        const ptrdiff_t object_index = meta ? meta - kfence_metadata : -1;
so maybe something with that goes wrong?  What happens if you delete the
(useless) "const" here?
