Summary:
The usefulness of **modernize-use-override** can be reduced if you have to live in an environment where you support multiple compilers, some of which sadly are not yet fully C++11 compliant
some codebases have to use override as a macro OVERRIDE e.g.
```
// GCC 4.7 supports explicit virtual overrides when C++11 support is enabled.
```
This allows code to be compiled with C++11 compliant compilers and get warnings and errors that clang, MSVC,gcc can give, while still allowing other legacy pre C++11 compilers to compile the code. This can be an important step towards modernizing C++ code whilst living in a legacy codebase.
When it comes to clang tidy, the use of the **modernize-use-override** is one of the most useful checks, but the messages reported are inaccurate for that codebase if the standard approach is to use the macros OVERRIDE and/or FINAL.
When combined with fix-its that introduce the C++11 override keyword, they become fatal, resulting in the modernize-use-override check being turned off to prevent the introduction of such errors.
This revision, allows the possibility for the replacement **override **to be a macro instead, Allowing the clang-tidy check to be run on both pre and post C++11 code, and allowing fix-its to be applied.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

Summary:
For the following code: `modernize-use-override` generates a replacement with incorrect location.
```
struct IntPair
{
int first, second;
};
struct A
{
virtual void il(IntPair);
};
struct B : A
{
void il(IntPair p = {1, (2 + 3)}) {};
// Generated Fixit: void il(IntPair p = override {1, (2 + 3)}) {};
// Should be: void il(IntPair p = {1, (2 + 3)}) override {};
};
```
This fixes that and adds a unit test.

Summary:
Fix generated by modernize-use-override caused syntax error when method
used try-statement as a body. `override` keyword was inserted after last
declaration token which happened to be a `try` keyword.
This fixes PR27119.

Fix for __declspec attributes and const=0 without space
This patch is to address 2 problems I found with Clang-tidy:modernize-use-override.
1: missing spaces on pure function decls.
Orig:
void pure() const=0
Problem:
void pure() constoverride =0
Fixed:
void pure() const override =0
2: This is ms-extension specific, but possibly applies to other attribute types. The override is placed before the attribute which doesn’t work well with declspec as this attribute can be inherited or placed before the method identifier.
Orig:
class __declspec(dllexport) X : public Y
{
void p();
};
Problem:
class override __declspec(dllexport) class X : public Y
{
void p();
};
Fixed:
class __declspec(dllexport) class X : public Y
{
void p() override;
};
