digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 20503] New: incorrect grammar specification for attributes

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20503

          Issue ID: 20503
           Summary: incorrect grammar specification for   attributes in
                    declarations
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: spec
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dlang.org
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: dkorpel live.nl

These do compile:
```
void foo()  safe  nogc {}
void bar()  ("uda") {}
```
According to the spec, only const, immutable, inout, return, shared, nothrow,
pure and  property are allowed after the parameter list. 

https://dlang.org/spec/grammar.html#MemberFunctionAttribute

These also compile:
```
 safe foo() {}
 ("uda") foo() {}
 ("uda") x = 3, y = 3;
```
`AtAttribute` is not in `StorageClass` (which is used in AutoDeclaration and
AutoFuncDeclaration), so according to the spec these are not allowed.

https://dlang.org/spec/grammar.html#AutoFuncDeclaration
https://dlang.org/spec/grammar.html#AutoDeclaration

I think adding AtAttribute to MemberFunctionAttribute and StorageClass would
fix this but I haven't checked what the implementation exactly permits and
disallows.
