r235046 turned "extern __declspec(selectany) int a;" from a declaration into
a definition to fix PR23242 (required for compatibility with mc.exe output).
However, this broke parsing Windows headers: A d3d11 headers contain something
like
struct SomeStruct {};
extern const __declspec(selectany) SomeStruct some_struct;
This is now a definition, and const objects either need an explicit default
ctor or an initializer so this errors out with
d3d11.h(1065,48) :
error: default initialization of an object of const type
'const CD3D11_DEFAULT' without a user-provided default constructor
(cl.exe just doesn't implement this rule, independent of selectany.)
To work around this, weaken this error into a warning for selectany decls
in microsoft mode, and recover with zero-initialization.
Doing this is a bit hairy since it adds a fixit on an error emitted
by InitializationSequence – this means it needs to build a correct AST, which
in turn means InitializationSequence::Failed() cannot return true when this
fixit is applied. As a workaround, the patch adds a fixit member to
InitializationSequence, and InitializationSequence::Perform() prints the
diagnostic if the fixit member is set right after its call to Diagnose.
That function is usually called when InitializationSequences are used –
InitListChecker::PerformEmptyInit() doesn't call it, but the InitListChecker
case never performs default-initialization, so this is technically OK.
This is the alternative, original fix for PR20208 that got reviewed in the
thread "[patch] Improve diagnostic on default-initializing const variables
(PR20208)". This change basically reverts r213725, adds the original fix for
PR20208, and makes the error a warning in Microsoft mode.
