[cfe-commits] [Patch] Fix parser diagnostic on class specifiers following c++11 attributes

Just some tiny things, then:

+    // Skip C++11 attribute specifiers.
+    do {
+      if (Tok.is(tok::l_square) && NextToken().is(tok::l_square)) {
+        ConsumeBracket();
+        ConsumeBracket();
+        if (!SkipUntil(tok::r_square, false))
+          break;

This inner ConsumeBracket() / SkipUntil(...) pair is redundant. The
following SkipUntil call will do that for you.

+        if (!SkipUntil(tok::r_square, false))

You don't need the ', false' here. If we see a semicolon before the
expected ']', we should bail out.

+          break;
+      } else if ((Tok.is(tok::kw_alignas) || Tok.is(tok::kw__Alignas)) &&
+                 NextToken().is(tok::l_paren)) {
+        ConsumeToken();
+        ConsumeParen();
+        if (!SkipUntil(tok::r_paren))
+          break;
+      } else {
+        break;
+      }
+    } while (true);

do { ... } while (true); is a bit of a funny way of writing this;
'while (true) { ... }' is more common in Clang sources.
