        <pre>The following code generates the following suboptimal error with top-of-tree
clang:
```
template <typename T>
class Foo {
        void bar() __attribute__((used));
};

using FooInt = Foo<int>;

static FooInt f;

template <>
void FooInt::bar() { }
```

Generates:
```
/tmp/xxx.cpp:11:14: error: explicit specialization of 'bar' after instantiation
void FooInt::bar() { }
             ^
/tmp/xxx.cpp:8:15: note: implicit instantiation first required here
static FooInt f;
              ^
1 error generated.
```

Whereas the real underlying problem is that `__attribute__((used))` is on the
definition, not the declaration.

Please consider having a direct warning about the misplaced attribute. Thanks!</pre>
