Introduce support for "transparent" DeclContexts, which are
DeclContexts whose members are visible from enclosing DeclContexts up to (and including) the innermost enclosing non-transparent DeclContexts. Transparent DeclContexts unify the mechanism to be used for various language features, including C enumerations, anonymous unions, C++0x inline namespaces, and C++ linkage specifications. Please refer to the documentation in the Clang internals manual for more information. Only enumerations and linkage specifications currently use transparent DeclContexts. Still to do: use transparent DeclContexts to implement anonymous unions and GCC's anonymous structs extension, and, later, the C++0x features. We also need to tighten up the DeclContext/ScopedDecl link to ensure that every ScopedDecl is in a single DeclContext, which will ensure that we can then enforce ownership and reduce the memory footprint of DeclContext. llvm-svn: 61735
