Change the error message from "export declaration can only be used within a module purview" to "export declaration can only be used within a module interface" to be technically accurate. The previous message was misleading because export declarations are actually within a module purview when used in module implementation units, but they are only allowed in module interface units. This addresses the issue pointed out in GitHub issue llvm#149008 where @Bigcheese noted that the diagnostic wording was incorrect. The fix updates: - The diagnostic definition in DiagnosticSemaKinds.td - All related test cases to match the new expected error message

No, please add a commit to your branch (and push), it will update this PR! Thanks |
This reverts unintended whitespace removal caused by IDE auto-formatting in commits: - llvm#149059 ("Fix export declaration diagnostic message")

Thanks! I'll merge this later today, unless @Bigcheese has opinions |

@duhbbx Congratulations on having your first Pull Request (PR) merged into the LLVM Project! Your changes will be combined with recent changes from other authors, then tested by our build bots. If there is a problem with a build, you may receive a report in an email or a comment on this PR. Please check whether problems have been caused by your change specifically, as the builds can include changes from many authors. It is not uncommon for your change to be included in a build that fails due to someone else's changes, or infrastructure issues. How to do this, and the rest of the post-merge process, is covered in detail here. If your change does cause a problem, it may be reverted, or you can revert it yourself. This is a normal part of LLVM development. You can fix your changes and open a new PR to merge them again. If you don't get any reports, no action is required from you. Your changes are working as expected, well done! |

LLVM Buildbot has detected a new failure on builder Full details are available at: https://lab.llvm.org/buildbot/#/builders/51/builds/19953 Here is the relevant piece of the build log for the reference |

Change the error message from "export declaration can only be used within a module purview" to "export declaration can only be used within a module interface" to be technically accurate.
The previous message was misleading because export declarations are actually within a module purview when used in module implementation units, but they are only allowed in module interface units.
This addresses the issue pointed out in GitHub issue #149008 where Bigcheese noted that the diagnostic wording was incorrect.
