There are a few places where the C++ FE will complain when attempting
to do things within an extern "C" linkage specifier.
I've run into problems where it wasn't clear where the pertinent
extern "C" was; for example, when failing to close an extern "C" linkage
specifier in a header, leading to "template with C linkage" errors in
a different source file.
As of r251026 there will be a message highlighting the unclosed '{', but
this may be hard to spot at the very end of the errors.
This patch adds a note to the various diagnostics that complain
about C linkage, showing the user where the extern "C" specification
began.
Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
OK for trunk?
gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* cp-tree.h (struct saved_scope): Add "location" field.
(maybe_show_extern_c_location): New decl.
* decl.c (grokfndecl): When complaining about literal operators
with C linkage, issue a note giving the location of the
extern "C".
* parser.c (cp_parser_linkage_specification): Store the location
of the "extern" token within the scope_chain.
(maybe_show_extern_c_location): New function.
(cp_parser_explicit_specialization): When complaining about
template specializations with C linkage, issue a note giving the
location of the extern "C".
(cp_parser_explicit_template_declaration): Likewise for templates.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* g++.dg/cpp0x/udlit-extern-c.C: New test case.
* g++.dg/diagnostic/unclosed-extern-c.C: Add example of a template
erroneously covered by an unclosed extern "C".
* g++.dg/template/extern-c.C: New test case.
