Hi Richard,
I am not sure if it is possible to reject the attributes before finishing
parse of declarators, because we should only reject attributes appertain to
declarations, not to definitions, and I believe we don't know if a
declaration is a definition or not until the parsing of the declarator is
finished. Thus, it seems reasonable to put the checks after function
declarators are fully parsed.
Attach tweaked patch that coveres all cases you mentioned.
Cheers
Michael
