Build fails with clang on GLM_DEPRECATED GLM_FUNC_DECL construct

[AMDmi3]

I've ran into this when build-testing one of glm consumers, gamescope, before updating FreeBSD port of glm to 1.x.

Reproducible with

#define GLM_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL
#include <glm/gtx/bit.hpp>

What preprocessed line looks like:

__attribute__((__deprecated__)) [[nodiscard]] genIUType powerOfTwoAbove(genIUType Value);

Smaller repro (note that template is required):

template<class T> __attribute__((__deprecated__)) [[nodiscard]] int foo(T t);

% clang++-14 -std=c++20  -c 1.cc 
1.cc:1:51: error: an attribute list cannot appear here
template<class T> __attribute__((__deprecated__)) [[nodiscard]] int foo(T t);
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

I haven't dug into the docs, but simple experiment revealed two ways to fix it: either change the order of attributes or use attributes of the same format, e.g. change __attribute__((__deprecated__)) to [[deprecated]. Both compile by gcc and clang, and I suggest to use [[deprecated]] in glm, as it's standard and supported since c++14.

My builds are failing too, I think it's because Homebrew has moved to version 1.0.1

https://github.com/g-truc/glm/pull/1252 was where [[nodiscard]] was added. @christophe-lunarg Can you take a look at this please?

[tobbi]

I hope the above PR fixes this.

@christophe-lunarg When are you gonna release a new version of GLM? The SuperTux project relies on GLM for some maths and we're currently using an earlier version in the nightly builds and would like to use a current upstream version.
