`[[trivial_abi]]` (at least right now) only affects whether user-provided special member functions are considered to be trivial for ABI purposes. A class whose copy and move constructor are both deleted is not passed in registers by the ABI; that has nothing to do with triviality, so it's unaffected by `[[trivial_abi]]` as currently specified. We could "fiddle with the rules of [[trivial_abi]]" to *make* that work (that's what the previous approach for this case did), but as you note, this is an ill-advised case, and fiddling with the rules to give it special behavior doesn't seem like worthwhile complexity. Our design intent was to produce a diagnostic if `[[trivial_abi]]` is specified on a non-template class that we can't actually pass in registers; this patch fixes a hole in our implementation of that design by adding a missing diagnostic.
