[cfe-dev] Verification of the type of language (C or C++) within the body of a function/method

[Miguel Aguilar]

Well actually the CXXRecordDecl considers something like this by means 
of the "isCLike()", but for the whole class and not for the statements 
within a given method. It says about isCLike():

"True if this class is C-like, without C++-specific features, e.g. it 
contains only public fields, no bases, tag kind is not 'class', etc."

But in my case I am interested on not having C++ statements in the 
methods such as "try-catch", etc. In features like function overloading 
is not something I need to verify.
