+- Clang will now prefer the ``[[nodiscard]]`` declaration on function declarations over ``[[nodiscard]]``
+  declaration on the return type of a function. Previously, when both have a ``[[nodiscard]]`` declaration attached,
+  the one on the return type would be preferred. This may affect the generated warning message:
