[cfe-dev] Questions about ctor/dtor attribute related diagnostics

[Xiangling Liao via cfe-dev]

Hi,

I noticed that there are some diagnostics discrepancies between clang and
gcc related to `__attribute__((constructor(n)))` and
`__attribute__((destructor(n)))`.

*[clang]*
It seems priorities >65535 and <0 on ctor/dtor functions are ignored and
are set back to default 65535 in clang and Clang only gives an error when >
32-bit unsigned value specified.

*[g++]*
g++ gives an error for any values <0 and >65535.

I am wondering should we let Clang's diagnostics match g++ to make things
clearer to the user? Or why Clang emits an error for *>32-bit unsigned
value* only?

Thank you,
Xiangling
