[cfe-dev] What code generates default constructors?

[Bruno Ricci via cfe-dev]

I am not sure I understand the question, but in general one way I found to be
useful to know what piece of code creates which AST node is to grep for 
eg: StringLiteral::Create, or StringLiteral and new. In this case what you are
looking for is CXXConstructorDecl::Create, which gives a few matches.

In particular Sema::DeclareImplicitDefaultConstructor seems to be what you want.
The other matches in SemaDeclCXX are for the other implicitely declared constructors.
