Hi,

In the C++ front end, default arguments are recorded in FUNCTION_TYPEs intead of being part of the FUNCTION_DECLs. What are the reasons for that?

There used to be an extension that allowed default arguments on function pointer types. We agreed to kill it, although I don't know if it was actually removed. If that's been done, there's no longer any reason.
