The problem is that C++ is a beast of a language and is not easy to find full parsers for it. I've never done it, but sometime I researched possible ways to do it. The best idea I could come with is doing it in 2 steps: - using gcc-xml ( http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Index.html ) to generate an xml representation of the code - using one of the many xml library for python to read the xml equivalent of the code and then generate the equivalent code in other languages ( where you could use a template engine, but I found that the python built-in string formatting libraries are quite up to the task ).
