When we parse a tag specifier, keep track of whether that tag
specifier resulted in the creation of a new TagDecl node, which happens either when the tag specifier was a definition or when the tag specifier was the first declaration of that tag type. This information has several uses, the first of which is implemented in this commit: 1) In C++, one is not allowed to define tag types within a type specifier (e.g., static_cast<struct S { int x; } *>(0) is ill-formed) or within the result or parameter types of a function. We now diagnose this. 2) We can extend DeclGroups to contain information about any tags that are declared/defined within the declaration specifiers of a variable, e.g., struct Point { int x, y, z; } p; This will help improve AST printing and template instantiation, among other things. 3) For C99, we can keep track of whether a tag type is defined within the type of a parameter, to properly cope with cases like, e.g., int bar(struct T2 { int x; } y) { struct T2 z; } We can also do similar things wherever there is a type specifier, e.g., to keep track of where the definition of S occurs in this legal C99 code: (struct S { int x, y; } *)0 llvm-svn: 72555
