Please find attached an updated version of the patch, that implements
Patrick’s idea and fixes both PR118163 and PR118392. It tracks the
depth at which a warning is inhibited, and suppresses all the notes from
that depth on until an error/warning is emitted or that depth is left.

Subject: [PATCH] c++: Inhibit subsequent warnings/notes in diagnostic_groups
with an inhibited warning [PR118163,PR118392]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Those 2 PRs show that even when using a *single* diagnostic_group, it's
possible to end up with a warning being inhibited and its associated
note still emitted, which leads to puzzling user experience. Example
from PR118392:
===
$ gcc/cc1plus inhibit-warn-3.C -w
inhibit-warn-3.C:10:17: note: only here as a âfriendâ
10 | friend void bar();
| ^~~
===
Following a suggestion from ppalka@, this patch keeps track of the
"diagnostic depth" at which a warning in inhibited, and makes sure that
all subsequent notes at that depth or deeper are inhibited as well,
until a subsequent warning or error is accepted at that depth, or the
diagnostic_group or nesting level is popped.
I briefly checked the selftests mechanism in diagnostic.cc and I don't
think this is something that we can add a test for there. Let me know if
I'm wrong.
