            Bug ID: 108173
           Summary: GCC allows attributes in the wrong locations inside a
                    cast
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Take:
```
int f(void)
{
  return static_cast<[[]]int>(1);
}
int g(void)
{
  return static_cast<const [[]] int>(1);
}

```
These two casts should be invalid as far as I can tell reading the C++
specifications. 

The spec has:
type-specifier-seq:
type-specifier attribute-specifier-seq_opt
type-specifier type-specifier-seq

Which means the attributes can only happen at the end of the type.

I do think we should only have a pedantic warning for this case and allow it as
an extension.
