I added ObjC/ObjC++ (and dropped Common), and retested it (and tested it with -xobjective-c and -xobjective-c++); I've pushed it to trunk as r13-2386-gbedfca647a9e9c. Thanks Dave

For example https://codesearch.isocpp.org/cgi-bin/cgi_ppsearch?q=2%5E32=Search currently finds 11 places using "2^32", and all of them appear to be places where the user means 2 to the power of 32, rather than 2 exclusive-orred with 32 (which is 34). This patch adds a new -Wxor-used-as-pow warning to the C and C++ frontends to complain about ^ when the left-hand side is the decimal constant 2 or the decimal constant 10. This is the same name as the corresponding clang warning: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wxor-used-as-pow As per the clang warning, the warning suggests converting the left-hand side to a hexadecimal constant if you really mean xor, which suppresses the warning (and this patch implements a fix-it hint for that, whereas the clang implementation only has a fix-it hint for the initial suggestion of exponentiation). I initially tried implementing this without checking for decimals, but this version had lots of false positives. Checking for decimals requires extending the lexer to capture whether or not a CPP_NUMBER token was decimal. I added a new DECIMAL_INT flag to cpplib.h for this. Unfortunately, c_token and cp_tokens both have only an unsigned char for their flags (as captured by c_lex_with_flags), whereas this would add the 12th flag to cpp_tokens. Of the first 8 flags, all but BOL are used in the C or C++ frontends, but BOL is not, so I moved that to a higher position, using its old value for the new DECIMAL_INT flag, so that it is representable within an unsigned char.
