+__attribute__((error("foo"))) int bad5(void);   // expected-error {{'error' and 'warning' attributes are not compatible}}
+__attribute__((warning("foo"))) int bad5(void); // expected-note {{conflicting attribute is here}}

(The idea is: the first declaration adds an attribute to the decl, so the redeclaration is what introduces the conflict and so that's where the error should live.)

That also looks correct to me; the second attribute is the diagnostic and the first attribute is the note.

Huh, this is rather strange. The logic you're using is basically the same as `checkAttrMutualExclusion()`, just with extra work to figure out which kind of attribute you're dealing with. I'm not seeing what's causing the order to be different when I reason my way through the code. Perhaps in the `bad4()` case, are we somehow processing the attributes in reverse order?

FWIW, at the end of the day, we can live with the diagnostic in either situation, even if they're a bit strange. I think the merge behavior (two different decls) is more important to get right because that's going to be the far more common scenario to see the diagnostic in. If it turns out that it's a systemic issue (or just gnarly to figure out), it won't block this review. We can always improve the behavior in a follow-up.
