Description:
------------
When ReflectionParameter::isOptional() returns false, because other parameters 
after it are required, isDefaultValueAvailable() always return false, even is 
there actually is a default value.

I've read this older bug report: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41382
It looks like at that time, this behaviour had been considerer consistent.
I do think this should be revisited however, as in the example function below, 
there is absolutely no way with Reflection to get the default value for the 
given parameter.

Reflection is a powerful tool for autowiring in Dependency Injection containers, 
where it is interesting to check whether default parameters are available, 
regardless of their order.


Test script:
---------------
function test(PDO $a = null, $b = 0, array $c) {}
$r = new ReflectionFunction('test');

foreach ($r->getParameters() as $p) {
    echo $p->getName();
    echo "   isDefaultValueAvailable: " . var_export($p->isDefaultValueAvailable(), true) . "\n";
    echo "    isOptional: " . var_export($p->isOptional(), true) . "\n";
    echo "    allowsNull: " . var_export($p->allowsNull(), true) . "\n";
    echo "\n";
}

Expected result:
----------------
a   isDefaultValueAvailable: true
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: true

b   isDefaultValueAvailable: true
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: true

c   isDefaultValueAvailable: false
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: false

Actual result:
--------------
a   isDefaultValueAvailable: false
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: true

b   isDefaultValueAvailable: false
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: true

c   isDefaultValueAvailable: false
    isOptional: false
    allowsNull: false

Thanks for the quick fix, isDefaultValueAvailable() works indeed, but 
getDefaultValue() still throws an exception:

<?php
function test(PDO $a = null, $b = 0, array $c) {}
$r = new ReflectionFunction('test');

foreach ($r->getParameters() as $p) {
    if ($p->isDefaultValueAvailable()) {
        var_export($p->getDefaultValue());
    }
}

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Parameter is 
not optional'

Hi, fixed :)

I can now confirm this works as expected. Thanks for your time!

It seems that 5.3.16 fixes the bug in isDefaultValueAvailable() but does NOT fix 
getDefaultValue, so the situation in 5.3.16 is even worse than before.

This breaks Twig and Doctrine in current versions, so 5.3.16 is not useable for 
Symfony 2 at the moment.

Is there a chance to get a new 5.3 release soon?
