Douglas Gregor 15e5602e59 Improve diagnostics when the parser encounters a declarator with an
unknown type name, e.g.,

  foo::bar x;

when "bar" does not refer to a type in "foo". 

With this change, the parser now calls into the action to perform
diagnostics and can try to recover by substituting in an appropriate
type. For example, this allows us to easily diagnose some missing
"typename" specifiers, which we now do:

  test/SemaCXX/unknown-type-name.cpp:29:1: error: missing 'typename'
        prior to dependent type name 'A<T>::type'
  A<T>::type A<T>::f() { return type(); }
  ^~~~~~~~~~
  typename 

Fixes PR3990.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler intrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang development mailing list:
