The C++ language doesn't allow that. Default arguments only show up when 
you're calling a function directly. The moment that you take the address and 
put it in a function pointer, they aren't visible anymore.

To complete that connection, you need a lambda:

QObject::connect(sender, &MyClass::showMessage,
	[=](const QString &s) { statusBar->showMessage(s); });
