According to [temp.expl.spec] p2:
> The declaration in an _explicit-specialization_ shall not be an
_export-declaration_. An explicit specialization shall not use a
_storage-class-specifier_ other than `thread_local`.
Clang partially implements this, but a number of issues exist:
1. We don't diagnose class scope explicit specializations of variable
templates with _storage-class-specifiers_, e.g.
```
struct A
{
template<typename T>
static constexpr int x = 0;
template<>
static constexpr int x<void> = 1; // ill-formed, but clang accepts
};
````
2. We incorrectly reject class scope explicit specializations of
variable templates when `static` is not used, e.g.
```
struct A
{
template<typename T>
static constexpr int x = 0;
template<>
constexpr int x<void> = 1; // error: non-static data member cannot be
constexpr; did you intend to make it static?
};
````
3. We don't diagnose dependent class scope explicit specializations of
function templates with storage class specifiers, e.g.
```
template<typename T>
struct A
{
template<typename U>
static void f();
template<>
static void f<int>(); // ill-formed, but clang accepts
};
````
This patch addresses these issues as follows:
- # 1 is fixed by issuing a diagnostic when an explicit
specialization of a variable template has storage class specifier
- # 2 is fixed by considering any non-function declaration with any
template parameter lists at class scope to be a static data member. This
also allows for better error recovery (it's more likely the user
intended to declare a variable template than a "field template").
- # 3 is fixed by checking whether a function template explicit
specialization has a storage class specifier even when the primary
template is not yet known.
One thing to note is that it would be far simpler to diagnose this when
parsing the _decl-specifier-seq_, but such an implementation would
necessitate a refactor of `ParsedTemplateInfo` which I believe to be
outside the scope of this patch.
Add -fpch-instantiate-templates which makes template instantiations be
performed already in the PCH instead of it being done in every single
file that uses the PCH (but every single file will still do it as well
in order to handle its own instantiations). I can see 20-30% build
time saved with the few tests I've tried.
The change may reorder compiler output and also generated code, but
should be generally safe and produce functionally identical code.
There are some rare cases that do not compile with it,
such as test/PCH/pch-instantiate-templates-forward-decl.cpp. If
template instantiation bailed out instead of reporting the error,
these instantiations could even be postponed, which would make them
work.
Enable this by default for clang-cl. MSVC creates PCHs by compiling
them using an empty .cpp file, which means templates are instantiated
while building the PCH and so the .h needs to be self-contained,
making test/PCH/pch-instantiate-templates-forward-decl.cpp to fail
with MSVC anyway. So the option being enabled for clang-cl matches this.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D69585
We referred to all declaration in definitions in our diagnostic messages
which is can be inaccurate. Instead, classify the declaration and emit
an appropriate diagnostic for the new declaration and an appropriate
note pointing to the old one.
This fixes PR24116.
