Hi Michael,

From looking at ParseDecl.cpp, ParseGNUAttributes, I think the difference 
between the parameter and the arguments is that the parameter is an identifier 
and the arguments are expressions.  Essentially, the parameter is the first 
argument that is guaranteed to be an identifier.

Instead of doing:

+  if (Attr.getParameterName() || Attr.getNumArgs() != 0) {

how about something like:

  if (Attr.hasParameterOrArguments())

which would just an inline method in Attribute that expands to the logic you 
wrote.  Right now you're basically copy-pasting a "complex" predicate in 
multiple places, and that is the perfect use of an inline method that 
summarizes your intent and makes the client code simpler.
