VerifyDiagnosticConsumer previously would not check that the diagnostic and
its matching directive referenced the same source file. Common practice was
to create directives that referenced other files but only by line number,
and this led to problems such as when the file containing the directive
didn't have enough lines to match the location of the diagnostic in the
other file, leading to bizarre file formatting and other oddities.
This patch causes VerifyDiagnosticConsumer to match source files as well as
line numbers. Therefore, a new syntax is made available for directives, for
example:
// expected-error@file:line {{diagnostic message}}
This extends the @line feature where "file" is the file where the diagnostic
is generated. The @line syntax is still available and uses the current file
for the diagnostic. "file" can be specified either as a relative or absolute
path - although the latter has less usefulness, I think! The #include search
paths will be used to locate the file and if it is not found an error will be
generated.
The new check is not optional: if the directive is in a different file to the
diagnostic, the file must be specified. Therefore, a number of test-cases
have been updated with regard to this.
This closes out PR15613.

visible.
The basic problem here is that a given translation unit can use
forward declarations to form pointers to a given type, say,
class X;
X *x;
and then import a module that includes a definition of X:
import XDef;
We will then fail when attempting to access a member of X, e.g.,
x->method()
because the AST reader did not know to look for a default of a class
named X within the new module.
This implementation is a bit of a C-centric hack, because the only
definitions that can have this property are enums, structs, unions,
Objective-C classes, and Objective-C protocols, and all of those are
either visible at the top-level or can't be defined later. Hence, we
can use the out-of-date-ness of the name and the identifier-update
mechanism to force the update.
In C++, we will not be so lucky, and will need a more advanced
solution, because the definitions could be in namespaces defined in
two different modules, e.g.,
// module 1
namespace N { struct X; }
// module 2
namespace N { struct X { /* ... */ }; }
One possible implementation here is for C++ to extend the information
associated with each identifier table to include the declaration IDs
of any definitions associated with that name, regardless of
context. We would have to eagerly load those definitions.
