This patch teaches clang to parse statements on the global scope to allow:
```
./bin/clang-repl
clang-repl> int i = 12;
clang-repl> ++i;
clang-repl> extern "C" int printf(const char*,...);
clang-repl> printf("%d\n", i);
13
clang-repl> %quit
```
Generally, disambiguating between statements and declarations is a non-trivial
task for a C++ parser. The challenge is to allow both standard C++ to be
translated as if this patch does not exist and in the cases where the user typed
a statement to be executed as if it were in a function body.
Clang's Parser does pretty well in disambiguating between declarations and
expressions. We have added DisambiguatingWithExpression flag which allows us to
preserve the existing and optimized behavior where needed and implement the
extra rules for disambiguating. Only few cases require additional attention:
* Constructors/destructors -- Parser::isConstructorDeclarator was used in to
disambiguate between ctor-looking declarations and statements on the global
scope(eg. `Ns::f()`).
* The template keyword -- the template keyword can appear in both declarations
and statements. This patch considers the template keyword to be a declaration
starter which breaks a few cases in incremental mode which will be tackled
later.
* The inline (and similar) keyword -- looking at the first token in many cases
allows us to classify what is a declaration.
* Other language keywords and specifiers -- ObjC/ObjC++/OpenCL/OpenMP rely on
pragmas or special tokens which will be handled in subsequent patches.
The patch conceptually models a "top-level" statement into a TopLevelStmtDecl.
The TopLevelStmtDecl is lowered into a void function with no arguments.
We attach this function to the global initializer list to execute the statement
blocks in the correct order.
