Hi Massimiliano,

AT&T CFront and Comeau C++ converts C++ source into C code.  There may be others, too.

GCC does not do that.

Are they free tools? Where can I dowload them?

CFront is owned by Lucent ($US300). Comeau C++ is owned by comeau 
computing ($US50). Older versions of CFront maybe free to download -- 
you'd have to do a search. To find them, do a google search for CFront 
or for Comeau. You may consider doing a Google to see if anyone has 
written a C++ to C backend for GCC -- this is technically possible.

Alternatively you could use Sun's GPLed "GCC2C Converter", the Google 
cache is here:

Hi Massimiliano,

I do not believe that they are free tools.

>Where can I dowload them?

Solbourne's AT&T C++ Cfront is US$1895
<http://www.desy.de/user/projects/C++/products/solbourne.html>

Comeau C++ 4.3.3 for US$43.30 (for 43.3 day use)
<http://www.comeaucomputing.com/>

I have the Comeau C++ (for Amiga OS) compiler, and I've been quite happy with it.

You may be able to find out more options via Google.
