Panic when parsing a generic type with empty tuple as default type parameter

[akonradi-signal]

#959 added support for default generic type parameters. This broke some existing use cases, in particular where a type is defined with a type parameter with a default, but where all usages specify the type parameter.

MRE:

#[repr(C)]
pub struct NeverUsedWithDefault<T = ()> {
  field: T
}

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "c" fn with_i32(x: NeverUsedWithDefault<i32>) {}

Running cbindgen against that produces the following:

thread 'main' panicked at src/bindgen/parser.rs:928:82:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: "unsupported generic type default: Some(Type::Tuple { paren_token: Paren, elems: [] })"

Is there a workaround for this ? I'm hitting the same problem, probably on some const_format::concatcp!() macro output.

I'm also hitting the same problem, downgrading to 0.26.0 fixed it for me.
