sammccall added a comment. I admire the goals of this patch, but I think it needs some explanation "why we expect this to be roughly correct/safe", rather than just trying to think of cases that might go wrong and patch them.
The test coverage for incorrect code is not good, I'd expect to need to add some new cases here. (And if there are benefits to the AST, we'd want to test those). ================ Comment at: clang/lib/Parse/ParseDecl.cpp:5425 + // node in AST for such cases which is good for AST readers. + if (IsUnknownTypedefName() && !getLangOpts().ObjC) + return true; ---------------- urazoff wrote: > aaron.ballman wrote: > > Why is ObjC exempted from this? > > > > I need to think about this a whole lot more.

This looks very suspicious to me, for example in `a * b;`. isDeclarationSpecifier() is going to return true when pointing at `a`. In fact `a` may be either a type or an expression here. Even if this right now this function never gets called for that case, it's not obvious why it wouldn't be in the future, or wouldn't be called for similar cases.
