David Malcolm 321983033d c: special-case some "bool" errors with C23 (v2) [PR117629]
Changed in v2:
- distinguish between "bool" and "_Bool" when determining
  standard version

This patch attempts to provide better error messages for
code compiled with C23 that hasn't been updated for
"bool", "true", and "false" becoming keywords.

Specifically:

(1) with "typedef int bool;" previously we emitted:

t1.c:7:13: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
    7 | typedef int bool;
      |             ^~~~
t1.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
    7 | typedef int bool;
      | ^~~~~~~

whereas with this patch we emit:

t1.c:7:13: error: 'bool' cannot be defined via 'typedef'
    7 | typedef int bool;
      |             ^~~~
t1.c:7:13: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t1.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
    7 | typedef int bool;
      | ^~~~~~~

(2) with "int bool;" previously we emitted:

t2.c:7:5: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
    7 | int bool;
      |     ^~~~
t2.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
    7 | int bool;
      | ^~~

whereas with this patch we emit:

t2.c:7:5: error: 'bool' cannot be used here
    7 | int bool;
      |     ^~~~
t2.c:7:5: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t2.c:7:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
    7 | int bool;
      | ^~~

(3) with "typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;" previously we
emitted:

t3.c:7:16: error: expected identifier before 'false'
    7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
      |                ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before '_Bool'
    7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
      |                                      ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: warning: useless type name in empty declaration

whereas with this patch we emit:

t3.c:7:16: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant
    7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
      |                ^~~~~
t3.c:7:16: note: 'false' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
t3.c:7:38: error: expected ';', identifier or '(' before '_Bool'
    7 | typedef enum { false = 0, true = 1 } _Bool;
      |                                      ^~~~~
t3.c:7:38: warning: useless type name in empty declaration

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
