For backwards compatiblity, we emit only a warning instead of an error if the
attribute is one of the existing type attributes that we have historically
allowed to "slide" to the `DeclSpec` just as if it had been specified in GNU
syntax. (We will call these "legacy type attributes" below.)
The high-level changes that achieve this are:
- We introduce a new field `Declarator::DeclarationAttrs` (with appropriate
accessors) to store C++11 attributes occurring in the attribute-specifier-seq
at the beginning of a simple-declaration (and other similar declarations).
Previously, these attributes were placed on the `DeclSpec`, which made it
impossible to reconstruct later on whether the attributes had in fact been
placed on the decl-specifier-seq or ahead of the declaration.
- In the parser, we propgate declaration attributes and decl-specifier-seq
attributes separately until we can place them in
`Declarator::DeclarationAttrs` or `DeclSpec::Attrs`, respectively.
- In `ProcessDeclAttributes()`, in addition to processing declarator attributes,
we now also process the attributes from `Declarator::DeclarationAttrs` (except
if they are legacy type attributes).
- In `ConvertDeclSpecToType()`, in addition to processing `DeclSpec` attributes,
we also process any legacy type attributes that occur in
`Declarator::DeclarationAttrs` (and emit a warning).
- We make `ProcessDeclAttribute` emit an error if it sees any non-declaration
attributes in C++11 syntax, except in the following cases:
- If it is being called for attributes on a `DeclSpec` or `DeclaratorChunk`
- If the attribute is a legacy type attribute (in which case we only emit
a warning)
The standard justifies treating attributes at the beginning of a
simple-declaration and attributes after a declarator-id the same. Here are some
relevant parts of the standard:
- The attribute-specifier-seq at the beginning of a simple-declaration
"appertains to each of the entities declared by the declarators of the
init-declarator-list" (https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#dcl.pre-3)
- "In the declaration for an entity, attributes appertaining to that entity can
appear at the start of the declaration and after the declarator-id for that
declaration." (https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#dcl.pre-note-2)
- "The optional attribute-specifier-seq following a declarator-id appertains to
the entity that is declared."
(https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#dcl.meaning.general-1)
The standard contains similar wording to that for a simple-declaration in other
similar types of declarations, for example:
- "The optional attribute-specifier-seq in a parameter-declaration appertains to
the parameter." (https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.fct#3)
- "The optional attribute-specifier-seq in an exception-declaration appertains
to the parameter of the catch clause" (https://eel.is/c++draft/except.pre#1)
The new behavior is tested both on the newly added type attribute
`annotate_type`, for which we emit errors, and for the legacy type attribute
`address_space` (chosen somewhat randomly from the various legacy type
attributes), for which we emit warnings.

C89 allowed a type specifier to be elided with the resulting type being
int, aka implicit int behavior. This feature was subsequently removed
in C99 without a deprecation period, so implementations continued to
support the feature. Now, as with implicit function declarations, is a
good time to reevaluate the need for this support.
This patch allows -Wimplicit-int to issue warnings in C89 mode (off by
default), defaults the warning to an error in C99 through C17, and
disables support for the feature entirely in C2x. It also removes a
warning about missing declaration specifiers that really was just an
implicit int warning in disguise and other minor related cleanups.
WG14 has elected to remove support for K&R C functions in C2x. The
feature was introduced into C89 already deprecated, so after this long
of a deprecation period, the committee has made an empty parameter list
mean the same thing in C as it means in C++: the function accepts no
arguments exactly as if the function were written with (void) as the
parameter list.
This patch implements WG14 N2841 No function declarators without
prototypes (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2841.htm)
and WG14 N2432 Remove support for function definitions with identifier
lists (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2432.pdf).
It also adds The -fno-knr-functions command line option to opt into
this behavior in other language modes.

This patch adds -Wno-strict-prototypes to all of the test cases that
use functions without prototypes, but not as the primary concern of the
test. e.g., attributes testing whether they can/cannot be applied to a
function without a prototype, etc.
This is done in preparation for enabling -Wstrict-prototypes by
default.
Double square bracket attribute arguments can be arbitrarily complex,
and the attribute argument parsing logic recovers by skipping tokens.
As a fallback recovery mechanism, parse recovery stops before reading a
semicolon. This could lead to an infinite loop in the attribute list
parsing logic.
Clang currently has a bug where it allows you to write [[foo bar]] and
both attributes are silently accepted. This patch corrects the comma
parsing rules for such attributes and handles the test case fallout, as
a few tests were accidentally doing this.
The current C++ grammar allows an anonymous bit-field with an attribute,
but this is ambiguous (the attribute in that case could appertain to the
type instead of the bit-field). The current thinking in the Core Working
Group is that it's better to disallow attributes in that position at the
grammar level so that the ambiguity resolves in favor of applying to the
type.
During discussions about the behavior of the attribute, the Core Working
Group also felt it was better to disallow anonymous bit-fields from
specifying a default member initializer.
This implements both sets of related grammar changes.
Suggest moving the following erroneous attrib list (based on location)
[[]] struct X;
to
struct [[]] X;
Additionally, added a fixme for the current implementation that diagnoses misplaced attributes to consider using the newly introduced diagnostic (that I think is more user-friendly).
