GCC backend: can C++ code be converted to C equivalent?

GCC backend: can C++ code be converted to C equivalent?

[Alexander Shabanov]

Does anybody know if it is possible to produce C code from C++ using gcc (g++)?
I know that gcc can produce an assembler output using the `S' option,
but can that code be translated to the certain "crossoplatform"
assembler - C code? May be there is some unofficial project which is
regard to this?
If yes, could you please refer me to the existing documentation?

PS: I searched this via google - he has no ideas :)

It is not possible.  I do not know of any existing projects trying to
implement this.

Thanks, that's great information! I'm not dug in that yet, but hope it
will justify my expectations.
