           Summary: may_alias attribute on function parameter gives
                    warning
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P

Compiling the following file with Clang built from trunk gives the following
warning:

void f(int __attribute__((may_alias)) *x) {
}

/tmp/a.cc:1:27: warning: 'may_alias' attribute only applies to variable and
function types
void f(int __attribute__((may_alias)) *x) {
                          ^
1 warning generated.


It seems this was introduced in
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=rev&revision=119407

I'm not familiar with this stuff, but it seems may_alias can be used both as a
type and a variable attribute and Clang only recognizes the former?


(This breaks the Chromium/Clang build because glib headers use this attribute
all over the place and the warnings gets treated as an error.)
