c++: Reject pack expansion of assume attribute [PR109756]
http://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.attr#grammar-4 says
"In an attribute-list, an ellipsis may appear only if that attribute's
specification permits it."
and doesn't explicitly permit it on any standard attribute.
The https://wg21.link/p1774r8 paper which introduced assume attribute says
"We could therefore hypothetically permit the assume attribute to directly
support pack expansion:
template <int... args>
void f() {
[[assume(args >= 0)...]];
}
However, we do not propose this. It would require substantial additional work
for a very rare use case. Note that this can instead be expressed with a fold
expression, which is equivalent to the above and works out of the box without
any extra effort:
template <int... args>
void f() {
[[assume(((args >= 0) && ...))]];
}
", but as the testcase shows, GCC 13+ ICEs on assume attribute followed by
... if it contains packs.
The following patch rejects those instead of ICE and for C++17 or later
suggests using fold expressions instead (it doesn't make sense to suggest
it for C++14 and earlier when we'd error on the fold expressions).
