>From 322edd51977596e1fecc9d5f30bef15914da3d82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Ballman <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 10:49:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Forcefully require new attributes to be documented Several years ago we began to require all new attributes be documented, but we never had anything enforcing the requirement. However, despite reviewers requesting this documentation, it's been missed often enough that enforcement makes sense in order to reduce maintenance burden. This adds a new tablegen option to spit out the list of undocumented attributes, and a test which lists all of the existing undocumented ones. If a new attribute is added, this test should catch the failure. --- clang/test/AST/undocumented-attrs.cpp | 94 +++++++++++++++++++++++ clang/utils/TableGen/ClangAttrEmitter.cpp | 44 +++++++++++ clang/utils/TableGen/TableGen.cpp | 7 ++ clang/utils/TableGen/TableGenBackends.h | 2 + 4 files changed, 147 insertions(+) create mode 100644 clang/test/AST/undocumented-attrs.cpp diff --git a/clang/test/AST/undocumented-attrs.cpp b/clang/test/AST/undocumented-attrs.cpp new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000..c7a2c74631ea2 --- /dev/null +++ b/clang/test/AST/undocumented-attrs.cpp @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +// RUN: clang-tblgen -gen-clang-attr-undocumented-list -I%S/../../include/ %S/../../include/clang/Basic/Attr.td -o - | FileCheck %s + +This test serves to prevent us adding new attributes to Clang that are +undocumented.
