Fix attribute/asm handling
a) asm aliases are accepted by gcc *only* directly after the top-level
declarator within external declaration (and they make no sense whatsoever
elsewhere - field names, function parameter names, casts, etc. simply
do not reach the assembler). Anyway, gcc parser will reject those
anywhere else.
b) post-declarator attributes are *not* accepted in nested declarators.
In bitfield declarations they must follow the entire thing, _including_
:<width>. They are not accepted in typenames either. Basically, gcc
has distinction between the attributes of type and attributes of
declaration; "after the entire declaration" is for the latter and they
get applied to type only as a fallback. So that's deliberate on part
of gcc...
c) no attributes in direct-declarator in front of [.....] or (.....).
Again, gcc behaviour.
d) in external declarations only attributes are accepted after commas.
IOW, you can't write int x, const *y, z; and get away with that.
Replacing const with __attribute__((...)) will get it accepted by
gcc, so we need to accept that variant. However, any qualifiers
in that position will get rejected by anything, including gcc.
Note that there's a damn good reason why such syntax is a bad idea and
that reason applies to attributes as well. Think what happens if later
we remove 'x' from the example above; 'z' will suddenly become const int.
So I think we want eventually to warn about the use of attributes in
that position as well. For now I've got it in sync with gcc behaviour.
