[cfe-dev] How can I mutate some information in the AST, given a Decl* ?

[Nikola Smiljanic]

Can you tell us what are you trying to do exactly? I'm confused because you
asked about modifying ast and now you're talking about 'new' source and I
don't quite get it.

I know very little about this but I know that you can't mutate the original
AST. TreeTransfrom should allow you to generate a new modified AST while
preserving invariants. The way I understand this simply removing all
default template parameters would break the AST in all the places where
you're instantiating the template with default arguments.
