This patch series aims to improve parsing of attributes in C by
Coccinelle's C parser.

These parsing errors were discovered by running a build of Coccinelle's
master branch on gitlab to parse the source code of Linux v5.5-rc4 and Linux
v5.6-rc7. Coccinelle currently manages attributes similar to comments, so
to explicity state what the attributes are to the C parser, a
MACROANNOTATION hint was used in Coccinelle's standard.h file. The hint
enables the parser to correctly identify attributes, and thus potentially
handle them differently in the AST.

Upon collection of these parsing errors, The GNU C Compiler's
grammar was taken as a reference for introducing attributes in correct
places in Coccinelle's C parser.

Upon applying the MACROANNOTATION hint to a majority of the attributes in
Coccinelle's standard.h file and parsing the source code of Linux
v5.6-rc7, the difference between the stats (of --parse-c) before and
after applying this patch series are as follows:

Before:

	NB total files = 28268; perfect = 25697; pbs = 2570; timeout = 0; =========> 90%
	nb good = 19160664,  nb passed = 135235 =========> 0.70% passed
	nb good = 19160664,  nb bad = 129685 =========> 99.33% good or passed

After:

	NB total files = 28268; perfect = 25699; pbs = 2568; timeout = 0; =========> 90%
	nb good = 19160856,  nb passed = 71716 =========> 0.37% passed
	nb good = 19160856,  nb bad = 129493 =========> 99.33% good or passed

Fixes for a few test case failures that arise from applying the new
productions are also included. The test cases that failed were:

	unstruct
	nocast

What this patch series does not do:
- Add attributes from all the new productions into the C AST. Some of
  these are dropped.
- Reflect changes from the C parser in the SmPL parser.

Separate patches will be sent for the above.

Would the wording “are correctly identified” be more appropriate?

Markus
