Quoting http://comeaucomputing.com/faqs/genfaq.html#ccompiler "Input C++ code is translated into internal compiler trees and symbol tables looking nothing like C++ or C. As well, it generates an internal proprietary intermediate form. But instead of using a proprietary back end code generator, Comeau C++ 4.3.3 generates C code as its output." Isn't that what cfront did, more or less? -- Chris
