           Summary: Support may_alias in processTypeAttrs()
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Frontend

clang now complains about unsupported attributes on types. As a consequence, it
complains about may_alias in cast expressions such as here:

void g(int p __attribute__((may_alias))) {}

void f() {
  int a = 0;
  g((int __attribute__((may_alias)))a);
}

hummer:clang thakis$ ../../Release+Asserts/bin/clang -Wall test.c -c
test.c:5:25: error: 'may_alias' attribute ignored when parsing type
  g((int __attribute__((may_alias)))a);
                        ^~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.


This is used in glib, see e.g. here:
