I do not know of a perfect solution, but Swig
(http://www.swig.org/compare.html) may be an useful tool. Then there are gcc
backends like gcc_xml (http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/Index.html) or source code
translation tools like OpenC++
(http://www.csg.is.titech.ac.jp/~chiba/openc++.html) that may give you a head
start.
