I don't think we're currently diagnosing static data members of classes as
being unused in the first place; are there plans to implement that
functionality so that someone might want to write the attribute there?
================
Comment at: lib/Sema/SemaDeclAttr.cpp:2050
- S.Diag(AL.getLoc(), diag::warn_attribute_wrong_decl_type)
- << AL.getName() << ExpectedForMaybeUnused;
- return;
----------------
`ExpectedForMaybeUnused` can be removed from AttributeList.h and the
`warn_attribute_wrong_decl_type` table definition can have the entry for
`ExpectedForMaybeUnused` removed as well.
================
Comment at: test/CXX/dcl.dcl/dcl.attr/dcl.attr.unused/p2.cpp:5
int I [[maybe_unused]];
- static int SI [[maybe_unused]]; // expected-warning {{'maybe_unused'
attribute only applies to variables, functions, methods, types, enumerations,
enumerators, labels, and non-static data members}}
+ static int SI [[maybe_unused]];
};
----------------

Yes -- through twisty standardese, a static data member of a class might be a
variable. This test case, however, is only a declaration and not a definition
(which means it's not an object, which means it's not a variable). Should the
attribute still appertain in this case?
