The OP was also asking for C compiliers for the 6809, so I suspect he is looking for a why to compile C++ code for one or more platforms for which no C++ compiler exists. -Sheldon Back to top Dan Pop Guest Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2003 5:07 pm    Post subject: Re: C++ to C In <pan.2003.10.28.16.26.31.16971 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> Sheldon Simms <sheldonsimms (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> writes: Quote: The OP was also asking for C compiliers for the 6809, so I suspect he is looking for a why to compile C++ code for one or more platforms for which no C++ compiler exists. Then, he is wasting his time. Apart from the portability of the generated C code issue, there is also the missing C++ library support issue.

He gets cranky sometimes. And is often short tempered with new subscribers. But, when he feels like it, he can be one of the best contributors to the comp.lang.c newsgroup. Just be patient.

No. Quote: I understand the first C++ compilers operated this way. You probably mean AT+T's cfront. I used Google http://www.google.com/ to search for +"C++" +"cfront" +"back end" and I found lots of stuff including The C++ Front End http://www.edg.com/cpp.html I don't know whether any of these are "open source" or whether any of them *emit* portable C code.
