Agreed. If this attribute appertains to the type, then it goes through SemaType.cpp and may require extra work to encode the information into the type system. If it appertains to the declaration, then what's in SemaDeclAttr.cpp is fine, but then I have questions about the use of the attribute with cast notation from D110116 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D110116> where this is being used definitely as a type attribute. One confounding factor here is that `__attribute__` will slide around to whatever makes sense. You should try your examples with `[[]]` in C2x mode as well -- the placement of the attribute syntax is strongly tied to what the attribute applies to. >> I'm asking because this raises other questions.

Okay, this is sounding more and more like a declaration attribute. >> __attribute__((overloadable)) void func(int i) { puts("one"); } >> __attribute__((overloadable)) void func(int >> __attribute__((btf_tag("__user"))) i) { puts("two"); } >> >> Is this a valid overload set because of the type attribute?

That's incorrect -- Clang supports attribute overloadable in C: https://godbolt.org/z/eThKsn3zM Repository: rG LLVM Github Monorepo CHANGES SINCE LAST ACTION https://reviews.llvm.org/D110127/new/ https://reviews.llvm.org/D110127 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
