I don't have a solution for you, but I'll share my hack.    You problably
have done something similar by now.

def emit_pre_function_modifiers(cursor, source_text):
    """
    Find function modifiers that are specified at the beginning of a
    function declaration.

    cursor -- is the clang AST Cursor object representing a function-like
unit
        (e.g. CursorKind.CXX_METHOD)
    source_text -- String containing the source code being examined.

    Unfortunately the clang AST doesn't track function modifiers, so we have
to
    resort to looking at the source code.  This technique can be fooled with
    preprocessor definitions and compiler-specific directives!
    """
    so = cursor.extent.start.offset
    eo = cursor.extent.end.offset
    defn = source_text[so:eo].split(' ')
    for word in defn:
        if '(' in word: break
        if word in ['static', 'virtual', 'inline']: sys.stdout.write(word+'
')
