Hi! As the following testcase shows, we don't parse properly C++11 attribute-declaration: https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#nt:attribute-declaration
cp_parser_toplevel_declaration just handles empty-declaration parsing (with diagnostics for C++98) and otherwise calls cp_parser_declaration which on it calls cp_parser_simple_declaration and rejects it with "does not declare anything" permerror. The following patch instead handles it in cp_parser_toplevel_declaration by parsing the attributes (standard ones only, we've never supported __attribute__((...)); at namespace scope, so I'm not sure we need to introduce that), which for C++98 emits the needed diagnostics, and then warning if there are any attributes that we throw away on the floor. I'll need this later for OpenMP directives at namespace scope, e.g. [[omp::directive (requires, atomic_default_mem_order(seq_cst))]]; should be valid at namespace scope (and many other directives). Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? 2021-07-23 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR c++/101582 * parser.c (cp_parser_skip_std_attribute_spec_seq): Add a forward declaration.
