I don't think you need to know who didn't come if
you know who came. You could deduce it, but that's
another story. The problem is that the predicate "know"
is especially confusing to treat these issues. If we change
to "John told me who came" it is more clear that he didn't
necessarily tell me who didn't came.

Would it be correct to say that he told me the function?
Or did he tell me what is the function, which is again
substituting one indirect question with another?
