            Bug ID: 78462
           Summary: feature request: need function default arguments
           Product: gcc
           Version: 6.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jmichae3 at yahoo dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

function default arguments are needed. I find that in 6.2.0 and earlier, it
does not work.
example:
#include <string>
const std::string test="wish";//global var or const, but const gives me
headaches
a(int b, int wish1=2, const wish2=test) {
...
}

this would be SO useful in ANSI C and in C++ if it worked.
