[cfe-dev] Why is canonical type _Bool instead of bool?

[Ray Zhang via cfe-dev]

Hi,

When canonicalizing bools, the resulting value is equal to _Bool(which is a
C99 thing). The tool I'm developing is turning expressions such as

(bool) 3.2f;

into:

static_cast<_Bool>(3.2f);

Is there some way I can set this to not be the case when parsing C++ files?
The closest thing that seemed to make sense was to set language options
<https://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/classclang_1_1LangOptions.html> but I don't
see where I can explicitly only support C++.

Best,
Ray Zhang

P.S. I'm fairly close to finishing the entire tool and am hoping to
contribute it into clang-tools-extra :)
