[llvm-commits] PATCH : change clang Attrs.td to avoid conflict w/MinGW basetyps.h

Trying again because i didn't see a response to this previously (11 days ago), and i don't have permissions in the svn repository to commit this, yet.

Attached, please find a patch to tools/clang/include/clang/Basic/Attrs.td

It is used to generate tools/clang/includes/clang/AST/Attrs.inc, which gets #included by Attr.h (which in turn is getting #included several nested levels deep in our effort to build lldb under MinGW ).

Without this change, one of the classes to be generated defined "Args=Interface".

This causes the generated class to contain a private member named "interface".

Under MinGW, when code #includes Attr.h and "basetyps.h" from MinGW before it, a conflict results, because MinGW's basetypes.h will (under most circumstances) pull in windows headers which have the following macro definition:

#define interface struct

The patch shows that 'Interface' is simply changed to 'InterFace' (with the F capitalized) so that the private member variable that gets generated becomes "interFace".

This mimics style elsewhere in Attrs.td (e.g. "Args=>FormatIdx" causes a private member formatIdx to be generated).

The capitalization difference leads to the resolution of the conflict with MinGW's basetypes.h .

Thanks in advance for any review/comments/feedback.
