Thanks for the comment!

> None of the other assignments to TagOrTempResult test for nullptr first

I think the problem here is:
- most of the `ActOn*` methods return a `DeclResult` (and inside these method 
implementations, they return an Invalid `DeclResult` if the Decl is nullptr), 
so `TagOrTempResult = Actions.ActOn*` is a fine pattern.
- Only two exceptions `ActOnTagDecl` and `ActOnTemplatedFriendTag`, they return 
a `Decl*`, so the `TagOrTempResult = Action.ActOn*` is a very suspicious 
pattern. (IMO, they're not intentional, likely bugs).

The first one is the other exception; the second one is not 
(ActOnExplicitInstantiation returns a `DeclResult`).

This is one of the solutions. But instead of justifying every places of 
DeclResult, I think we should fix the two exception places (by adding the 
nullptr check in
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Parse/ParseDeclCXX.cpp#L2037
 and 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Parse/ParseDeclCXX.cpp#L2069),
 what do you think?
