which versions of an OS provide a certain facility. For example,
void foo()
__attribute__((availability(macosx,introduced=10.2,deprecated=10.4,obsoleted=10.6)));
says that the function "foo" was introduced in 10.2, deprecated in
10.4, and completely obsoleted in 10.6. This attribute ties in with
the deployment targets (e.g., -mmacosx-version-min=10.1 specifies that
we want to deploy back to Mac OS X 10.1). There are several concrete
behaviors that this attribute enables, as illustrated with the
function foo() above:
- If we choose a deployment target >= Mac OS X 10.4, uses of "foo"
will result in a deprecation warning, as if we had placed
attribute((deprecated)) on it (but with a better diagnostic)
- If we choose a deployment target >= Mac OS X 10.6, uses of "foo"
will result in an "unavailable" warning (in C)/error (in C++), as
if we had placed attribute((unavailable)) on it
- If we choose a deployment target prior to 10.2, foo() is
weak-imported (if it is a kind of entity that can be weak
imported), as if we had placed the weak_import attribute on it.
Naturally, there can be multiple availability attributes on a
declaration, for different platforms; only the current platform
matters when checking availability attributes.
The only platforms this attribute currently works for are "ios" and
"macosx", since we already have -mxxxx-version-min flags for them and we
have experience there with macro tricks translating down to the
deprecated/unavailable/weak_import attributes. The end goal is to open
this up to other platforms, and even extension to other "platforms"
that are really libraries (say, through a #pragma clang
define_system), but that hasn't yet been designed and we may want to
shake out more issues with this narrower problem first.
Addresses <rdar://problem/6690412>.
As a drive-by bug-fix, if an entity is both deprecated and
unavailable, we only emit the "unavailable" diagnostic.

GCC emits a warning instead of an error when using an unavailable Objective-C protocol, so now
Clang's behavior is more strict in this case, but more consistent. We will need to see how much
this fires on real code and determine whether this case should be downgraded to a warning.
Fixes <rdar://problem/8213093>.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
