Summary

The patch diagnoses a Keyword as a future keyword if it exist in the upcoming language mode. such that

int restrict;

in the c modes earlier than C99 then will give a warning to the user that is a future keyword in C99. Now it handles keywords from C as well as C++

nullptr is now in C23, right?

I believe you need tests here desperately. I also believe the define logic that you have here isn't going to be sufficient for the C future flags thanks to it getting some C keywords.

Hmm... this looks like it is going to be troublesome for the 'future' feature. Can you make sure you have tests for all of these?

clang/lib/Lex/Preprocessor.cpp
780

This isn't right at all. We should be looking through the list of flags instead of trying to assume that cxx11 keywords here are all 'future' C keywords. First, this isn't true. Second, even if it was, it is really fragile.

It is, but that's separate from the rest of these changes (it would need testing and other work).

Yes working for the test cases

Yes I was looking to it, But not getting how to deal this.
Will need to make the different Case to access some of the keywords that are define in CXX11_KEYWORD.
Any suggestions?

I meant, for tests you haven't written yet. You need to write tests to validate that the future diagnostics are emitted properly.

clang/lib/Lex/Preprocessor.cpp
780

I suspect this pattern of using the define over the C99_KEYWORD/etc is not going to be sufficient. You'll likely have to just define KEYWORD, use it to 'extract' the entire list of flags, then check to see which language flag is 'set' vs the current LangOpts. You might be able to replace the C++ part of this that way to unify the implementations.

So something like:

unsigned Flags = llvm::StringSwitch<unsigned>(II.getName())
#define KEYWORD(NAME, FLAGS) .Case(#NAME, FLAGS)
#include "clang/Basic/TokenKinds.def
;
// Then, do a bunch of checks of the current 'lang' version vs the 'set' flag of the keyword.

updated.

I didn't have time to dig into the correctness of the TokenKinds or test changes (hopefully @aaron.ballman can take some time on that), but implementation overall looks correct, just with some style/formatting issues.

This comment doesn't really make any sense here. I dont understand what you're trying to say.

This comment isn't helpful.

just make this an 'else'.

I think this is coming from the fact that you're marking a bunch of keywords as being C2x keywords. That's correct insomuch as they are C2x keywords. But it's incorrect because we haven't actually implemented those features yet in the rest of the compiler. I think we should continue to treat the C2x keywords as we did previously. For the C2x keywords in the test file, you can put a FIXME comment above the ones that should get a warning whenever we finish the support for that keyword. WDYT @erichkeane?

clang/include/clang/Basic/DiagnosticLexKinds.td
86

I think the diagnostic group here is incorrect -- this grouping is used for things which are not compatible with standards before C2x. I think you need to add a new group for C2xCompat to DiagnosticGroups.td and use it here.

clang/include/clang/Basic/IdentifierTable.h
672–674
clang/include/clang/Basic/TokenKinds.def
91–92

I think this should be C2X_KEYWORD and KEYC2X for the moment (C23 isn't published yet so we're sticking with its placeholder name elsewhere in the code base).

384

This should be KEYC23.

clang/lib/Basic/IdentifierTable.cpp
96

It's worth noting that there are no C11 keywords that we handle only in C11+ mode, so we could probably repurpose this value for a different language mode.

updated with suggestios

Looks about right, please see if you can do more work on the static-assert test to make sure we don't lose other testing behavior, AND see the other comment.

clang/lib/Lex/Preprocessor.cpp
847

Don't create a new one, do getIdentifierTable() to get the active identifier table.

clang/test/Parser/static_assert.c
18–26

So we want to make sure we still get the ms-warnings, so this also needs to be validated in C++17 mode as well, which should ALSO give us a 'future keyword' diagnostic.

This is technically correct, but I think we should remove it until we go to implement that paper instead of introducing the keyword out of thin air here.

Btw, I think that should be , 0 instead of , KEYC2X given the use of C2X_KEYWORD, right?

You should be sure to add this comment to the new code so we don't lose the useful information.

Don't know much but what I understand that this is a keyword but not published officially by language but will be in future. so I think will be good to remove it or can add Fixme?

Close -- the issue is more that we have no support for remove_quals in the compiler and it's easier for someone to add the keyword when implementing that feature. So you should remove the line entirely -- someone else will add it in the future.

Totally unintentional. I was initially exploring something. will fix this. Thank you for pointing out.

I spotted one last (hopefully) concern, but otherwise this LG for functionality. Can you also add a release note for the improved diagnostic behavior?

clang/include/clang/Basic/TokenKinds.def

I'm very sorry for not noticing this until the last minute, but I think all three of these should be using KEYWORD instead of C2X_KEYWORD. We set the value for BOOLSUPPORT properly for C2x: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Basic/LangOptions.cpp#L196 so that should be a no-op change.

(Otherwise, it looks like these are C2x keywords but not C++ keywords, which seems rather strange)

aaron.ballman accepted this revision.Aug 26 2022, 6:14 AM

LGTM! There's a minor thing left to be fixed, but I'll handle it on commit. I wanted to drop the |KEYC2X for the Boolean keywords so it relies solely on BOOLSUPPORT, but then I realized we could just use the correct flags instead of using BOOLSUPPORT at all.
