[LLVMdev] C++ to C?

[Michael McDonnell]

Hi Dale,
 
Thank you for your comments. (BTW, I'm here in San Jose - I see you're at Apple).
 
I'm simply looking for tool that will accept C/C++ source and generate machine code for a virtual machine, the ultimate goal being to use the system as a teaching tool.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
M. McDonnell

Bear in mind that if you use features from the C++ library, you are  
still going to need a C++ library.
llvm does not try to translate iostream into stdio calls or anything  
like that.
