    No, but I'm sure one could be made if there isn't one already (though I really don't see WHY you'd want to do something like that).

    For TIGCC, the compiler (in c) so you can write assembly for TI calculators. There's one reason, possibly.

    Originally, C++ began life as a program which translated C++ into C (and it was called cfront).

    You may be able to find it on the web somewhere, and it may work for you providing you don't use some of the newer C++ features (eg. templates)

    The output of cfront is not something you'd normally want to read.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
