Just curious if anyone knows of any. Check with AT&T for Cfront (the original C++ compiler, compiling to C). Other than that, SAS institute had a C++ to C compiler (not converter - it is more advanced than that), and something called Green Leaf Systems (? search old comp.sys.amiga.programmer archives to be certain) had one. I've not been into this market for almost 4 years, so I have no idea on the current state-of-the-art. Perhaps a C backend for GCC would be feasible to implement? I know there was some work on one, but haven't heard anything about this for almost a year. Eivind.
