Nice work.

I would have expected this patch to include removal of the code in ShouldPassWrapperByReference in CodeGenerator.pm that looks at the Default extended attribute.

I suggest putting these after the string related optimizations to avoid the peculiar use of nullptr in the string code.

Could we just use "{}" instead of doing this?

Should talk to Ben about these to be sure they are what we want. For example, if there is something performance critical going on it would be good to avoid allocating and then deleting every time.

We have to be able to do better than the name "n".

Will do.

Ok

That was my first attempt but it did not build. It complained about not being allowed to use an initializer list on the right side of a '?'.

Ok.
