Although the runtime exported symbols must be exported with "C" linkage and decoration, we split out the externalisation in the C++ mode. This is required to ensure that we are able to attribute the functions without following the more stringent rules that clang now enforces which place the attributes following the identifier to which they appertain, resulting in the attributes interleaving within the signature. The resulting spelling is more difficult to process for humans as well as more difficult to identify as function declarations making code perusal a challenge, particularly for the uninitiated.

Any reason we're still waiting on this? This is a growing problem for Linux builds. (On recent Ubuntu, "clang" defaults to clang-15, which trips over this.)

Trying to build locally on Linux with this change gives me:

and a number of other similar-looking errors.

I tried building on Ubuntu 22.10 with clang-15 and got a couple of failures.

#define SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM(LIBRARY) SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM_ATTRIBUTE(LIBRARY)

SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM() is used in several other places, so you cannot drop this definition.

But SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM_ATTRIBUTE is not used outside of this file, so you could just rename that to SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM

// SWIFT_RUNTIME_EXPORT is just SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM(swiftCore).
//
// TODO: use this in shims headers in overlays.
#define SWIFT_RUNTIME_EXPORT SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM_ATTRIBUTE(LIBRARY)

This should be SWIFT_EXPORT_FROM_ATTRIBUTE(swiftCore)

Re-testing this one in the hope of merging it soon.

This is required to a clang change. Attribute need to be in a certain order when building with a newer clang.
