Missing PHP 8.0 detection for parameter with a default value that is followed by a required parameter

[aadmathijssen]

The following code is deprecated in PHP 8.0 because the parameter with a default value is followed by a required parameter (see the Deprecated Features for PHP Core):

<?php
function test($a = [], $b) {}

This is not reported by the phpdd tool:

$ phpdd  -t 8.0 test.php
Max file size set to: 1.000 MiB

File test.php

Analyzer has not detected any issues in your code.
Peak memory usage: 2.430 MB

BTW The php executable does report on this deprecation:

$ php test.php
PHP Deprecated:  Optional parameter $a declared before required parameter $b is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /path/to/test.php on line 2

Deprecated: Optional parameter $a declared before required parameter $b is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /path/to/test.php on line 2

I agree, I was able to reproduce the same

It's hard to implement
