Hello.

I have a program that compile ok in djgpp 2.03 with gcc 2.95.

I migrated to gcc 3.1 with lots of problems.

I'm solving them but one is annoying me:

foo.h
void f(int a,char b=1);

foo.cc
#include "foo.h"
void f(int a,char b=1)
  {
     //some code
  }

When compiling I get the next error:

foo.cc: 4692: default argument given for parameter 2 of
  'void f(int,char=1)'
foo.h:29: after previous specification in 'void f(int a,char b=1)'

If in foo.cc I change the definition to 'void f(int a,char b)' it
compiles.

The problem is:

a)  I can't see the default value of 'b' without open
foo.h (or add a comment to the function in foo.cc)
I have 104 header files and is very annoying opening them
each time I want to work with its .cc file.
More annoying is open 104 .cc files to add a comment
to each function to comment a thing that was
auto-commented in gcc 2.95.

b) I have to modify 104 .cc files with hundreds of functions
to change te definition of the functions.

Any suggerences?

Thanks in advance.
