Allow 'static' storage specifier on an out-of-line class member template declaration in MSVCCompat mode

[Manna]

Summary

Microsoft compiler permits the use of "static" specifier on out-of-class member template declaration.

This patch allows 'static' storage specifier on an out-of-line class member template declaration with a warning in Clang (To be compatible with Microsoft).

Intel C++ compiler allows the 'static' keyword with a warning in Microsoft mode. GCC allows this with a warning with -fpermissive.

I feel like I must be missing something, because MSVC does not accept the code from your test case: https://godbolt.org/z/r6evxY Are there other language options required to get MSVC to accept this code, or perhaps is it only accepted by certain versions of MSVC?

lib/Sema/SemaDecl.cpp

8679–8681

Can you reverse the order here so it checks MSVCCompat first?

test/SemaCXX/warn-static-outside-class-definition.cpp

13–16

Formatting is off here, you should run the patch through clang-format.

Patch is updated based on the comments.

Thanks Aaron.

Yes, it seems like I made some mistake during testing. MSVC2013 accepts the code. MSVS2017 and MSVC2019 fails to compile the same code.

I double-checked MSVC 2015 and it also does not accept the code. Aside from a testing nit, this LGTM!

You should add a second RUN line and explicitly specify the MSVC versions so that you can test the diagnostic triggering and not triggering, as appropriate.

[Manna]

Sorry for replying late. Thanks for the review. I have updated the patch. Lit test gives warning diagnostic in Microsoft mode up to MSVC 2013 and errors in MSVS2015, MSVS2017 and MSVC2019.

Fix the issue by updating the patch.

[aaron.ballman]

I would still like to see the second RUN line added to the test so we can ensure we don't regress the behavior.

This isn't quite what I was after. I was looking for a RUN line with a MS version < MSVC 2015 to test that the diagnostic is not triggered in that case.

[Manna]

I have added RUN line (-fms-compatibility-version=12.0) with a MS version < MSVC 2015

Something seems amiss here if this test still passes -- I thought one of these RUN lines was going to err and the other was going to warn because the MSVC behavior changed with 2015 for this case?

This is what I notice with the current patches. The test behavior is changing based upon MSVC version changes.

The test is generating errors with MSVC2015, MSVC2017, and MSVC2019 with but warning with MSVC2013 for this case.

This behavior points out the issue:

Your test case currently expects a warning line 17 and not an error, so running this test through lit should fail until you update the comment on line 18. That should be a warning in some modes and an error in others.

[Manna]

I have updated test.

Thank you for updating the test! One minor nit with the way the test case is written, but otherwise LGTM.

I'd prefer to see this written as:

template <class T> static void S<T>::f() {}
#if _MSC_VER >= 1900
  //expected-error@-2 {{'static' can only be specified inside the class definition}}
#else
  //expected-warning@-4 {{'static' can only be specified inside the class definition}}
#endif

[Manna]

Thanks for reviewing. I have updated the test the way it was written before.
