Thanks for the suggestion -- this has turned out to make the code simpler and more logical in a number of places.

I've added some comments to clarify the difference. I'm not sure what a good alternative name for `Attrs` would be though. The only obvious candidate that comes to mind is `DeclaratorAttrs`, but that seems pretty redundant given that this is a field of `Declarator`.
I think there is actually a good case for calling the first list simply `Attrs` because, unlike `DeclarationAttrs`, it applies directly to the `Declarator`. This distinction is amplified by the fact that, since your review, I've changed `DeclarationAttrs` to be a reference, not a by-value field.

This is a great idea that also helps with other things. It's similar in spirit to the idea that I'd floated in our discussion on https://reviews.llvm.org/D111548 of introducing a `Declaration` and having `Declarator` hold a reference to that, but it seemed a bit excessive to introduce a new `Declaration` class solely for the purpose of holding the declaration attributes. Holding a reference directly to the declaration attributes achieves the same thing, but without having to introduce yet another class. I like it.
One implication of this is that we should only have a const version of `getDeclarationAttributes()`; a non-const version would be dangerous because we're potentially sharing the attribute list with other declarators. (In fact, this wasn't really sound before either because we were effectively already sharing the attribute list too by moving it around between declarators.) Fortunately, it turns out that all of the places that were using the non-const `getDeclarationAttributes()` didn't actually need to be manipulating the declaration attribute list. I've added source code comments to call this out where appropriate.

Instead, I think those attribute syntaxes are never parsed as declaration attributes in the first place, so there is no possibility of "sliding" anywhere -- they simply always are decl-spec attributes.

Yes, this was inteded to refer to the fact that non-[[]] attributes also notionally slide to the `DeclSpec`. In the initial version of my patch, it was possible for `slidesFromDeclToDeclSpec()` to be called on non-[[]] attributes within the default case in `ProcessDeclAttribute()`.
However, I've realized that this is confusing; it's better to restrict this function only to [[]] attributes and to do an explicit check in `ProcessDeclAttribute()` to see whether we're looking at a [[]] attribute. I've added documentation to this function making it clear that it should only be called on [[]] attributes, and I've also added an assertion to enforce this.
All other places that call `slidesFromDeclToDeclSpec()` are already guaranteed to only call it on [[]] attributes because those attributes come from `Declarator::getDeclarationAttributes()`, and that is only ever populated with [[]] attributes. (I've added an assertion to make sure this is and continues to be true.)

Done. Unfortunately this did require adding the `OriginalDeclSpecAttrs` for the purpose of the `ProhibitAttributes()` call below. That call can't simply use `DS.getAttributes()` because `ParseDeclarationSpecifiers()` might have added attributes to that that are legitimately allowed to be there. For example, here's a case from test/SemaCXX/MicrosoftExtensions.cpp that would otherwise break:
```
// expected-warning at +1 {{attribute 'deprecated' is ignored, place it after "struct" to apply attribute to type declaration}}
struct D {} __declspec(deprecated);
```
Interestingly, I believe the attribute ordering was already correct before this change because `DeclSpec::takeAttributesFrom()` adds attributes at the beginning of the list. (It may even be that it does this to support this very use case.) However, as we discuss elsewhere, this behavior is potentially surprising, and we may want to change it at some point, so it's better not to rely on it in the first place.

Now that `Declarator` only holds a reference to the declaration attributes, the additional `clearExceptDeclarationAttrs()` has become unnecessary. With that, I think the original `clear()` name is acceptable?

The `FirstArgAttrs` are all decl-specifier attributes (they're parsed in `ParseParenDeclarator`, where we look for GNU attributes and `__declspec` attributes), so if we parsed any of those, we should not now parse any syntax that is supposed to precede decl-specifier attributes. The current code allows attributes to appear in the wrong order in the case where we need to disambiguate a paren declarator: https://godbolt.org/z/bzK6n8obM (note that the `g` case properly errors, but the `f` case that needs lookahead to determine whether the `(` is introducing a function declarator incorrectly accepts misplaced attributes).

Good point.
Instead of doing a `ProhibitAttributes()`, I've decided to simply move the `MaybeParseMicrosoftAttributes()` down below this point -- that seemed more straightforward.
I've added a test in test/Parser/MicrosoftExtensions.cpp.
Some considerations:
- With this patch, we've "upgraded" the warning to a hard error. I think this is defensible though because b) the Microsoft compiler also flags this as a hard error (https://godbolt.org/z/jrx6Y1Y83), b) most people will be using Clang to compile code that they compiled with MSVC originally or in parallel, and c) it's an error that I think people are unlikely to make in the first place,
- The error message we get isn't great, but it's not really worse than the Microsoft compiler's error message, and as noted above, this is an error that I think people are unlikely to make.

As it turns out, we can never pass declaration attributes in here anyway -- see the newly added assertion at the top of the function. This is a good thing, because I've eliminated the non-const version of `Declarator::getDeclarationAttributes()`.

Or if the next token is `kw_inline` and the token after that is `kw_namespace`...
I think going down this path would mean duplicating all of the case distinctions in `ParseDeclaration()` -- and if we add more cases in the future, we'd have to make sure to replicate them here. I think overall it keeps the code simpler to accept the additional `DeclSpecAttrs` parameter.
> Do we also have to handle opaque-enum-declaration here? http://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#nt:block-declaration
A moot point, probably, but I believe this is handled by `ParseEnumSpecifier()`, which is called from `ParseDeclarationSpecifiers()`, so there would be no need to handle it separately.

As explained elsewhere, in the first iteration of the change, we used to actually call this with non-[[]] attributes.
I've changed this now, and there's an assertion that this will only ever be called with [[]] attributes.

Yes, good point, we should point this out explicitly.
I've worded the comment slightly differently: we can definitely deprecate the "sliding" behavior for attributes in the `clang::` namespace, as we own them, but there may be compatibility concerns for other attributes. This may mean that we can never reduce this list to nothing, but we should try.
> And should we start to issue that deprecation warning now (perhaps as a separate follow-up commit)?
We're already doing this (see the tests in test/SemaCXX/adress-space-placement.cpp), though again only for attributes in the `clang::` namespace, as we don't really have the authority to deprecate this usage for other attributes.
I think the other question here is whether, by default, this should be an error, not a warning, but this would then presumably require a command-line flag to downgrade the error to a warning if needed (I believe @rsmith raised this point on https://reviews.llvm.org/D111548). If we do decide to make this an error by default, I'd like to do this in a followup change if possible, as a) this change is already a strict improvement over the status quo; b) adding a command-line flag with associated tests would further increase the scope of this change, and c) this change is a blocker for https://reviews.llvm.org/D111548, which others on my team are waiting to be able to use.

This is the `AttributePool`, however, and IIUC that only deals with memory management for attributes; the ordering of attributes there should not have any semantic implications I believe.
What's actually relevant for the semantic ordering of attributes is the call to `addAll()` in `takeAllFrom()`:
```
void takeAllFrom(ParsedAttributes &Other) {
assert(&Other != this &&
"ParsedAttributes can't take attributes from itself");
addAll(Other.begin(), Other.end());
Other.clearListOnly();
pool.takeAllFrom(Other.pool);
}
```
And `addAll()` inserts at the beginning of the list:
```
void addAll(iterator B, iterator E) {
AttrList.insert(AttrList.begin(), B.I, E.I);
}
```
The behavior is definitely surprising though. I speculate that it _may_ have been introduced to make `ParseSimpleDeclaration()` do the right thing (see my comments there).
> As mentioned earlier, we've got some preexisting ordering confusion somewhere in our attribute processing code, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're getting close to finding the root cause of that.
It's possible that other callers of `takeAllFrom()` or `addAll()` are expecting the attributes to get added at the end and are doing the wrong thing because of that. This seems worth investigating further, but I'd prefer to defer that to a followup change.

Good point. I've added a check that we're looking at either a `DeclaratorDecl` or a `TypeAliasDecl`. The latter is necessary because we have existing use cases where attributes can be placed on an alias declaration and is interpreted as appertaining to the type; see this example from test/Parser/cxx0x-attributes.cpp:
```
using V = int; // expected-note {{previous}}
using V [[gnu::vector_size(16)]] = int; // expected-error {{redefinition with different types}}
```
The various tests in test/SemaCXX/address-space-placement.cpp now reflect our rules for where the attribute exhibits the legacy "sliding" behavior (with a mere warning) and where it is prohibited outright (see the `expected-error` cases in that test).
> However, if we really wanted this, we could modify ClangAttrEmitter.cpp to produce a helper function for testing appertainment.
That's a good point. I think for the time being what we have here is sufficient however.

Good point -- done.
I don't think this will ultimately make much of a difference because we shouldn't be putting C++11 declaration attributes on the `DeclSpec` anyway; there's code in `ParseDeclarationSpecifiers()` that prohibits that. (Prior to this change, we were prohibiting C++11 attributes on the `DeclSpec` outright; now, we only forbid non-type attributes, but that does mean we should never see declaration attributes here.) There are existing tests for this, for example in test/Parser/cxx0x-attributes.cpp (search for "attribute cannot be applied to a declaration).
However, it does seem more logical and consistent to exclude C++11 attributes here, so I've made this change.
One effect that this does have is the treatment of unknown C++11 attributes: Because we're excluding them now, we no longer diagnose them here; instead, I've modified `processTypeAttrs()` to diagnose unknown C++11 attributes on the `DeclSpec` there. Again, this seems the more logical way to do things: The attributes appertain to the type, so they should be diagnosed as part of processing type attributes.

No longer applicable.
I've reverted the changes I made to `TypeProcessingState` that this comment applied to. I had originally modified `TypeProcessingState::getCurrentAttributes()` so that it would return the declaration attributes if we were currently processing those, but it turned out that this was not relevant to any of the use cases that `TypeProcessingState::getCurrentAttributes()` is used for.
