[C++20][Modules] Implement P2615R1 revised export diagnostics.
ClosedPublic

Summary

It has been reported that the current clang errors for, specifically,
static_assert in export contexts are a serious blocker to adoption of
modules in some cases.

There is also implementation divergence with GCC and MSVC allowing the
constructs mentioned below where clang currently rejects them with an
error.

The category of errors [for declarations in an exported context] is:
(unnamed, static_assert, empty and asm decls). These are now permitted
after P2615R1 which was approved by WG21 as a DR (and thus should be
applied to C++20 as well).

This patch removes these diagnostics and amends the testsuite accordingly.

nit: we prefer shorter indentation.

A namespace decl may not be a enum decl.

I did not do that yet since this patch only implements the removal of unnamed export diagnostics. There will be a follow-on patch shortly that implements the addition of the export specialisation diagnostics and then we can claim P2615R1.

Can you please add the quoted text for clarity. This is especially helpful if the text changes in the future and we are left trying to read the tea leaves to determine motivation.

not sure why the debian CI is reported clang-format errors; I am not seeing them here.

clang/lib/Sema/SemaModule.cpp
824–827

(actually I just moved this code to place it closer to the use-point).

you change is more efficient, indeed, but it alters the behaviour of the diagnostics such that only the first occurrence is reported (which regresses module.interface/p5.cpp).

It seems to me to be more user-friendly to report all the errors at the same time rather than one by one.
