1. Passing something that isn't a string used to cause:
"argument to annotate attribute was not a string literal"
make it say "section attribute" instead.
2. Fix the location of the above message to point to the
bad argument instead of the section token.
3. Implement rdar://4341926, by diagnosing invalid section
specifiers in the frontend rather than letting them slip all
the way to the assembler (a QoI win).
An example of #3 is that we used to produce something like this:
/var/folders/n7/n7Yno9ihEm894640nJdSQU+++TI/-Tmp-//ccFPFGtT.s:2:Expected comma after segment-name
/var/folders/n7/n7Yno9ihEm894640nJdSQU+++TI/-Tmp-//ccFPFGtT.s:2:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 46 (.).
Daniel improved clang to use llvm_report_error, so now we got:
$ clang t.c -c
fatal error: error in backend: Global variable 'x' has an invalid section specifier 'sadf': mach-o section specifier
requires a segment and section separated by a comma.
with no loc info. Now we get:
$ clang t.c -fsyntax-only
t.c:4:30: error: argument to 'section' attribute is not valid for this target: mach-o section specifier requires a segment
and section separated by a comma
int x __attribute__((section("sadf")));
^
which is nice :)
