That's a fair assumption but grokdeclarator/cdk_function wasn't giving errors for function pointers and similar. So we want to perform various checks not only when funcdecl_p || inner_declarator == NULL. But only give the !late_return_type errors when funcdecl_p, to accept e.g. auto (*fp)() = f; in C++11.
