cfront showed us a usable C++ dialect and also a proof that such a dialect can be efficiently implemented by a translator to C. This means that the effort to recreate such a translator from scratch - would be useful, as a compact and extremely fast compiler for a practical subset of C++ - is realistically doable This is my feeling about the best or the only possible way to combine many of the attractive features of tcc and C++/OOP. An easier but much less certain way would be to try to talk to someone at AT&T - this would be certainly a lot more efficient, _if_ it could work.
