I can well believe that you speak better English than French.  That's
not the issue!

What we can't comprehend is how you see trouble with your build system,
and conclude that this means llvm was originally written for Objective C
and then had C++ support added.  As well as being completely incorrect
factually, it has no more logic than Sir Bedevere in Monty Python.  The
non-sequitor anecdote about French just adds to the confusion.

You first wrote:

"So my conclusion is that it's because C++ was an afterthought, and
basically it's intended to compile Objective C. I might be wrong."

You were told that you /were/ wrong.

The normal response is to say, "okay, thanks for correcting me" - rather
than to embarrass yourself with nonsense excuses.
