Summary

This requires forcibly toggling the 'willHaveBody' value of the Decl that's
being built up before/after handling the attributes in order to query
this property on the Decl.

This also updates a WASM test that seemed incorrect (the attribute is
only allowed on function declarations, not definitions).

This seems like a hack to work around what feels like a bug -- if the declarator knows the function is a definition, then why does the FunctionDecl AST node claim the function won't have a body? It seems strange to me that we don't set that bit when acting on the function declarator but instead wait until we're acting on the start of the function definition to set it; does anything break if you start setting that flag earlier?

I agree it is a bit of a workaround, I wasn't sure if it was a bug or by design, but there are several places in the codebase that are invoked after this point that seem to depend on the fact that willHaveBody has not been set to determine if something is a redeclaration.

For example, setting NewFD->setWillHaveBody() to true if D.isFunctionDefinition(), causes the following test to fail:

template <class T1, class T2>
struct pair {
  T1 first;
  T2 second;

  pair() : first(), second() {}
  pair(const T1 &a, const T2 &b) : first(a), second(b) {}

  template<class U1, class U2>
  pair(const pair<U1, U2> &other) : first(other.first),
                                    second(other.second) {}
};

I did some digging to see if I could fix this some other way, but didn't spot any easy ways to do this.

Yeah, it may require more involved changes, but I'm not super comfortable extending our technical debt with this bit unless there's really no other reasonable way to do it.

We don't have any attributes that behave the way you're proposing this one behaves. Most often, attributes can be written on any declaration and are inherited by subsequent declarations. Every once in a while we have an attribute that can be written only on a declaration, but none that require a function definition (some require a record definition though). So I'm not too surprised this is an edge case we've not hit before.

Why is this limited to just the definition and not allowed on a declaration?

This is either hiding a bug or materially changing the test.

  1. It's hiding a bug because those functions are supposed to be diagnosed and that's not happening: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Sema/SemaDeclAttr.cpp#L7313
  1. If the checking code in SemaDeclAttr.cpp is actually unintentional for some reason, then this materially changes the test coverage to demonstrate that the attribute is not lost by a subsequent redeclaration without the attribute (so when later code looks up a decl, it still sees the attribute).

I think it's most likely hiding a bug though.

This patch can be abandoned, since this is now properly implemented in D127762 as a declaration attribute.
