Hello, Martin,

The initial patch for PR 81824 fixed one of the possibilities of
-Wmissing-attributes reporting duplicates, namely, if TMPL had an
attribute in ATTRLIST that was missing from DECL's decl and type
attribute lists, both being non-empty.

Another possibility of duplicate reporting remained: when an attribute
in ATTRLIST is present in both decl and type attribute lists of TMPL,
and absent from DECL's attribute lists, it is reported once for each
of TMPL's lists.

The implementation still allowed for false positives: an attribute in
ATTRLIST that is present in TMPL will be regarded as missing as soon
as it is not found in DECL's decl attribute list, even if it is later
found in DECL's type attribute list.

This patch fixes both problems, so that an attribute from ATTRLIST
that is present in any of TMPL's lists will be reported at most once,
and only if it is missing from both DECL's lists.


Now, I realize there are some attributes that are only acceptable for
types, and some that are only acceptable for function declarations.
ISTM that some even have different meanings depending on whether
they're associated with types or declarations.  There's room for an
argument for checking only corresponding lists, for at least some of
the attributes.  AFAICT it doesn't apply to -Wmissing-attributes, that
are either acceptable in either list, or only in the FUNCTION_DECL
list, so I'm leaving it at that in the hope that it doesn't apply to
any other users of decls_mismatched_attributes either.

Hey Alex!

Isn't this test sufficient to avoid the problems?

The change looks cleaner than the cumbersome code that's there
now so I have no problem with it but I'm not sure it does more
than the test above.  The test case included in the patch also
gets just the expected warnings with the trunk so I'm wondering
how the problems you describe can come up.  Can you put together
a test case that does do the wrong thing?

Thanks
Martin

It is, unless someone (i) doesn't realize attributes that are present in
the type can't be present in the decl, (ii) misreads the '!k' as just
'k', and (iii) uses the wrong toolchain to confirm the consequences of
the misreading ;-/  doh!

I'm afraid not, all of the additional errors I observed were correctly
covered by the test I misunderstood once I grasped the actual logic.
Sorry about the, erhm, false positive ;-)

Would you like me to put it in regardless?
Does it make sense to put the testcase in anyway?

No worries.  The purpose of the test above is far from intuitive
(even to me now).

Sure, if it's worthwhile to you I think it's an improvement even
if it doesn't fix a bug.  (In full disclosure I'm not empowered
to formally approve bigger patches but I think cleanups like this
can safely be committed as obvious.)

> Does it make sense to put the testcase in anyway?

If it isn't already covered by one of the existing tests I'd say
definitely.  I also tried the following while playing with it so
if this variation isn't being exercised either it might be worth
adding to the new test as well:

   template <class T>
   f_type
   missing_nothing2;

   template <>
   void *
   ATTR ((alloc_size (1)))
   missing_nothing2<char>(int);

It's your call.

Thanks!
Martin

Thanks, I'm installing the patch below.

Thanks, I added it to the new test



-Wmissing-attributes: check that we avoid duplicates and false positives

The initial patch for PR 81824 fixed various possibilities of
-Wmissing-attributes reporting duplicates and false positives.  The
test that avoided them was a little obscure, though, so this patch
rewrites it into a more self-evident form.

The patch also adds a testcase that already passed, but that
explicitly covers some of the possibilities of reporting duplicates
and false positives that preexisting tests did not cover.
