A few general points about this:
1. Regarding testing, have you seen languages/cpp/tests/test_cppassistants.cpp?
2. Wouldn't this overwrite any default arguments on the declaration?
3. This brings over the oldcpp StaticCodeAssistant more or less intact, whereas we are planning to make this part language agnostic.

One particular issue is that the sigassist should really behave a lot more like the rename assistant, which attaches to a view and manages its own usefulness much more accurately than sigassist is able to. We really don't want to go down the old route of creating a new SignatureAssistant each check. Ideally with the language agnostic StaticCodeAssistant, this sort of usefulness management will be codified.

Perhaps you could coordinate with Kevin Funk, who will be working on this as part of his GSOC project? Are you on #kdevelop (freenode)?

There are some rather fundamental issues both due to the different information organization (files vs translation units) and due to the discrepencies between what KDevelop has in the text editor and what clang has in the translation units. Hopefully I can get some feedback on the implementation.
