How to put Clang in C ++ mode?

Question

I am working on an AST transformer using Clang. It is supposed to take the file name as input, perform some conversions to the code in this file, and return the converted code. It is based on a useful example from Eli Bendersky .

Here is the code:

std::string transform(std::string fileName) {

  // CompilerInstance will hold the instance of the Clang compiler for us,
  // managing the various objects needed to run the compiler.
  CompilerInstance compilerInstance;

  compilerInstance.createDiagnostics();

  auto& langOpts = compilerInstance.getLangOpts();
  langOpts.CPlusPlus = true;

  // Initialize target info with the default triple for our platform.
  auto TO = std::make_shared<TargetOptions>();
  TO->Triple = llvm::sys::getDefaultTargetTriple();
  TargetInfo* targetInfo =
      TargetInfo::CreateTargetInfo(compilerInstance.getDiagnostics(), TO);
  compilerInstance.setTarget(targetInfo);

  compilerInstance.createFileManager();
  auto& fileManager = compilerInstance.getFileManager();

  compilerInstance.createSourceManager(fileManager);
  auto& sourceManager = compilerInstance.getSourceManager();

  compilerInstance.createPreprocessor(TU_Module);
  compilerInstance.createASTContext();

  // A Rewriter helps us manage the code rewriting task.
  auto rewriter = clang::Rewriter(sourceManager, compilerInstance.getLangOpts());

  // Set the main file handled by the source manager to the input file.
  const FileEntry* inputFile = fileManager.getFile(fileName);
  sourceManager.setMainFileID(
      sourceManager.createFileID(inputFile, SourceLocation(), SrcMgr::C_User));
  compilerInstance.getDiagnosticClient().BeginSourceFile(
      compilerInstance.getLangOpts(), &compilerInstance.getPreprocessor());

  // Create an AST consumer instance which is going to get called by
  // ParseAST.
  MyASTConsumer consumer(rewriter);

  // Parse the file to AST, registering our consumer as the AST consumer.
  clang::ParseAST(
    compilerInstance.getPreprocessor(), 
    &consumer, 
    compilerInstance.getASTContext());

  // At this point the rewriter buffer should be full with the rewritten
  // file contents.
  const RewriteBuffer* buffer = rewriter.getRewriteBufferFor(sourceManager.getMainFileID());

  return std::string(buffer->begin(), buffer->end());
}

Here is my input program negate.cpp:

bool negate(bool b) {
    if (b) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}

When I run transformin this code, I get the following error:

negate.cpp:1:1: error: unknown type name 'bool'
bool negate(bool b) {
^

This tells me that it works in C mode, not C ++ mode. To confirm, I replaced boolwith int, trueby, 1and falsewith 0:

int negate(int b) {
    if (b) {
        return 0;
    } else {
        return 1;
    }
}

This worked, so my question is:

How to put Clang CompilerInstancein C ++ mode?

Update:

I tried changing the call but no luck:

  auto& langOpts = compilerInstance.getLangOpts();
  langOpts.CPlusPlus = true;
  langOpts.CPlusPlus11 = true;

  auto* compilerInvocation = new CompilerInvocation();

  compilerInvocation->setLangDefaults(
    langOpts, 
    clang::InputKind::IK_CXX, 
    LangStandard::lang_gnu11);
